TERM 2A

Dear Parent(s),

For our World Around Us topic this term we will be focusing on ‘Birds, Bugs and Beasts’.

We will be looking at many different areas within this topic including;

• Literacy links
• Putting animals in alphabetical order.
• Finding animals in the dictionary.
• Activities relating to The Owl Who was Afraid.
• Numeray links
• Symmetry of birds
• Measuring the lengths of bugs.
• Learning about birds of prey.
• Learning about the parts of bird, insects and animals – labelling

Here are some activities you may like to try to do at home to support your child’s learning at school.

• You can draw some animals using ‘how to draw’ on YouTube. Always get your parents permission.
• Read non-fiction texts to find out some interesting facts to share with your class.
• Practice dictionary skills at home and alphabetical order.
• Create a graph of your families favourite type of animal.
• Have fun making a 3D model of a bird, bug or beast out of things you have at home.

Don’t forget to have lots of fun.

Mrs Carragher & Miss Power.
