1.

Encourage your child to recap on alliteration, thinking about some of the animals that started with the same sound from yesterday’s activities.

Can they draw some animals that start with the same sound and write the correct initial sound? If they can’t do this by themselves they could write over your writing or dots etc.

2.

Think about an animal that they like, can they look on google to find out some facts about their favourite animal.

Once you have read out the facts to your child can they draw their favourite animal, write their initial sound and then talk about their characteristics and facts they have learnt.

e.g. where do they live?

      What do they eat?

      What is their young called?

3.

If you have some animals make a farm/zoo or a mixture of both, this could be with cuddly toys, plastic animals etc.

Play with your child pretending to be a farmer/zoo keeper. Feed the animals, put them to bed, take them for a walk etc. If you have a pet at home maybe your child could help to feed it or groom it?
