The Elephant Song
Can you join in with the song and the actions?
Today we are learning about elephants. What do you know about elephants? Where do they live? What do they eat? Can you do some research to find out? Do you have any books you can use to find out more?
Here is some information about elephants
What did you find out? Can you show us with a picture, crafts or some small world play? Here are some ideas;
Your child may want to research a different animal rather than an elephant. You can follow their lead and ideas.

Revisiting Stop and Go Signs
We have talked about our Stop and Go signs before. They are really important to keep our children safe. Can you and your child make some signs for Stop and Go at home to use and help them to understand what they mean? You could use them for places your child is not allowed to go alone, for example out of the front door. Show them that no one is allowed to go through a stop sign.Active Learning
Animal Yoga
Yoga helps children to:

We Love to See Your Learning!
What could you share on Seesaw today?
Today, you might like to share videos or pictures of your child engaging with the play and learning related to the elephants. We love hearing your child speak, either in their home language or English, so videos of them leading their learning are always fantastic. Perhaps you may choose to send us photos or videos of them singing or dancing along with the elephant song. Maybe they have tried some of the yoga poses?
You are not limited to the ideas on the blog. Perhaps your child has displayed a skill for the first time, such as putting on their socks, or riding a bike? We love sharing these kind of experiences and achievements too!
