From Caterpillar to Butterfly
Our local Nursery school, like many schools
around the country, has a tankful of caterpillars
chomping on leaves and sipping nectar. They're
getting ready for turning into chrysalis and
eventually butterflies.
This of course is a wonderful activity for Roamer.
The children can program Roamer caterpillar to
move round its life cycle drawn on the floor or
using Roamer mats. At each new stage of
development Roamer puts on its new jacket
previously designed and made by the children.
Pupils as young as 3 can enjoy turning Roamer
into a butterfly.

From Caterpillar to Butterfly
Once all your Roamer caterpillars have
metamorphosed into butterflies they of course
need to fly from flower to flower:
Place 6 large paper flowers randomly on the floor
each numbered 1 - 6. Pupils throw a dice to see
which flower Roamer needs to go to. They then
have to program the butterfly to "fly" there. This
involves turning the right amount and direction
and correctly estimating distance.
For younger children the flowers can be placed on
a number line (the Roamer mats are ideal for this)
to avoid the need to turn. Then they just go up
and down the number line visiting the flowers.
This of course is also the basis of addition and
subtraction.
And for your literacy hour there is always
