Home learning ideas

Parents / Carers.

This focused activity has provided a range of learning opportunities including:

• How we read and share books.
• Developing and understanding that print conveys meaning
• To join in with repetitive text
• Developing our understanding of different animals and animal sounds

To extend these learning opportunities we invite you to share an activity with your child at home.

Parent/carer needs to:

●Ask your child about the book ‘Walking through the jungle’ and talk about the different animals.

● Using the Pictures of the different animals find out what your child can remember about the story. 

● Encourage your child to talk about their favourite animal?

● Help your child to think about the different animals. Talk about their different features.

● Help your child to match the animals sounds and initial letter sounds to each of the different animals

Child needs to:

● Talk about the different animals and their features. You can prompt your child by asking them questions about the animal. (Q) I wonder what colour this animal is? (Q) I wonder what sound this animal made? (Q) I wonder how many legs this animal has?

● Play a lotto game matching the animals together with the initial letter sounds and the sounds that they make in the story

Extension:

You can extend your child’s learning by:

• Introducing your child to a range of animal stories
• Find out more information about the animals in the story i.e. where can you find an elephant/lion? Where does an elephant/lion live? What do they like to eat?
