Back in September Polar Bears studied the topic 'Me and My Family' and this feels like an good time to think about this again, as our families and those who live with us are so important to us. You can use a template like the one above or ask them to draw where you live.

Use the symbols who, what, where to prompt your child to talk about the picture. Once you have talked about it-write about it. If they need support give them two choices such as ‘who do you see an owl or a cat’ ‘what are they doing sleeping or eating? Etc. Once they constructed a sentence support them in writing. E.G. I see owl sleeping in tree.

If this is too tricky - ask them who they see, can they point to correct symbol to answer your question?
Support them in tracing letters like 'o' for owl, 'a for sleeping etc.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading the Owl Babies story use these words and pictures to help your child to say sentences about the owl.
Who it is?
What it's doing?
And where?
The sentences can be quite short or you can encourage your child to add to them/ make them longer if they're ready.
Encourage them to use joining words like 'is' or 'in'.

Can you trace these numbers on the finger with your screen? Try drawing them in a light colour (like yellow) and getting your child to trace over in a darker colour. Remember to show which way the arrows go to help them learn the correct formation.

# data[].attributes.body
Can you name these shapes? Trace them with writing tools on paper or with your finger on the screen. Now have a go at drawing them yourself. (It can help with triangles and squares to draw dots for each corner for you child to join together.)

At school we are learning to identify  emotions and what to do when we feel a certain way. Why not use the 'how are you feeling? board' with your child on a daily basis and support them in choosing an activity. You can edit the activity to something that helps your child. For example if they are sad you may offer them bubbles instead.

Good Morning Song - THE KIBOOMERS Preschool Songs for Circle Time

# data[].attributes.body
Another way to discover shadows is by making shadow puppets. All you need is some paper or card and straws or something similar to make the 'stick'. Black paper/card works the best but other colours will work as well. Draw whatever you want on the paper, cut it out and then stick it to the straw. You can then use either the sunlight or a torch to create the shadows. If it doesn't quite work out the first time, do not worry. Talk about this with your child and what they could do to make it better. Why not make characters from the story Owl Babies - your child could then act out the story using them.

Challenge:
What happens if you move the light towards or away from the puppets?

# data[].attributes.body
Here is a fun powerpoint where your child can guess what is making the shadow.
