Appendix 2
Poem entitle Im a Hungry Caterpillar
I'm a hungry caterpillar walking slowly (Slowly walk two fingers from right hand up your left arm) Looking for something (place hand above eyes searching for something) To fill my belly (Rub belly) When I go to sleep (Close eyes, tilt head and rest on folded hands) I make a little cocoon (Cup hands together) Pop! I'll be a butterfly soon. (Throw open hands, link thumbs and make flapping movement)
