1.

We are thinking about animals this week and what types of animals there are.

 

Encourage your child to think about different animals that they know, make a list e.g. tiger,lion, elephant, dog, rabbit, cow, pig, sheep.

It doesn’t matter what type of animals they think about, this is what we want them to do so that they can begin to differentiate between the different types of animals.

 

2.

Farm animals

Jungle animals and pet animals.

Encourage your child to watch this video and talk to them about the different animals they see and where they might live.

3.

Play Bertha goes to the zoo.

 

Set up a small toy zoo and join the children as they play with it.

If you don’t have zoo animals maybe draw some or find pictures of them on the internet.

Look for animals starting with the same sound (e.g. a lion, a lizard, a leopard, a llama and a lobster) to act out this story.

Chant the following rhyme and allow your child to look at the animals adding an animal name to the list of animals spotted at the zoo. Bertha the bus is going to the zoo, Who does she see as she passes through? … a pig, a panda, a parrot and a polar bear.

By the end of the activity they should be beginning to: identify initial sounds of words;

reproduce the initial sounds clearly and recognisably

make up their own alliterative phrases
