What were we learning about before the holidays? That’s right, Christmas but Christmas is all finished now, so we are moving onto a new topic. Let’s share this story and see if you can guess what we are going to learn about!

I wonder where all those animals live? That’s right, in the Jungle, we are going to be learning all about the different animals that live in the jungle.

Shall we sing along to our Jungle song?

Lots of browns and greens. 

Let’s collage with paint and paper and sponge printed leaves to create a giant jungle scene.

 Now shall we see what jungle animals we know?

Guess the Jungle Animals

Let’s have a look in my mystery bag - we can take it in turns to pull an animal out. Do you know what it’s called?

Now we can play Kym’s Game! We will hide the animals under the blanket and then take one animal away…can you see which one is missing?

Finally, let’s sing this song together:

Jungle Boogie

What animal is missing? There are 5 jungle animals hiding under my blanket. Let’s take a little look! Now everyone let’s close your eyes and your teacher will hide one of the animals, can you spot which one is missing?
