Conclusion
 Ask students to ensure their area is
tidy and everything has been packed
away
 Ask students to gather on the mat to
conclude the lesson
 Review the lesson with the students
- Ask which activities the students enjoyed
and which activities they would change or
do differently
- Ask students if they would like to volunteer
to show the class their stop motion video
created as a group or the collage they
created individually.
- Reflect on their study of ‘The Hungry
Caterpillar’ as a whole
