All about Animals

This week our theme is animals. 

Have a look at this picture. Can you name all the animals you see? 

Some questions to ask: 

What animals might have sharp teeth?
Which animal has a long neck?
Which animal has a trunk and tusks?
Can you find the snake?
Which animal is best at climbing trees?
Which animal is best at swimming? 

which animal is the king of the jungle?
What is your favourite animal in the picture? Why? 

Guess the  animal sounds

Have a listen and guess what animal you hear.

Comparing

Let's practice the important mathematical skill of comparing: Have a look at this picture. Look at the two groups in each, ask your child which group has more.
For example: which has more, the tigers or the snakes? 

Your child may respond with 'the snakes' and they are of course correct. Encourage them to use a full sentence by asking them to repeat after you.
'There are more snakes than tigers'

Now try these ones out 

Find the odd one out! 

 Ask your child to find the odd one out in each set. Don't forget to ask them to explain their choice.

It might help to zoom in on one set at a time.
