Oral Language Challenge
If anyone else would like to send me on a video of your child telling me about their favourite wild animal, please do. I would love to see them. I'm going to put them all together later so that the children can see each other speaking about their favourite animals. They learn so much from their class mates.
If you didn't see this yesterday, record your child telling me a few facts about their favourite wild animal. It can be one we have covered or something different.
send to [email protected]
*It doesn't need to be learned by heart you can ask them questions and prompt them in the videos, I know some people can get shy in front of the camera. If they really don't want to don't worry. It doesn't have to be done, just for fun!

Ostrich
Where does the ostrich live?
- Ostriches live in Africa.
- They are omnivores: that means they eat plants and meat.
- They prefer roots, leaves, and seeds, but also eat locusts, lizards, snakes and rodents.
- They eat sand and pebbles to help grind up the food in their gizzard.
- The ostrich has long skinny legs, a big body, wings, a long neck with a small head, a long beak and long eyelashes.
- Males are black and white and females are brown.
Fun Facts!

Let's Write About the Ostrich
We have been doing lots of drawing and labelling and that is fantastic. If we were in school I would be getting you to try a sentence or two if you were able.
Have a look at one of the animals covered this week and try to write a simple sentence or two. You don't have to draw a picture but if you like drawing please do.
I've made two videos below for examples (you don't have to watch both). You can do something similar or do your own one that's completely different.
*This may be a little tricky for some so give lots of encouragement! Remember we are still only learning and the most important thing is that we try our best.
