‘Wildlife Investigation’ - Key Resources
Versatile ‘My Outdoor Art’ frames. Here are some ideas:
Create artwork in your outdoor area/garden/local park/forest/beach using natural loose parts such as pebbles, twigs, shells, leaves, etc. Take a photo and place the photo in this frame for display.
Collect natural loose parts from the outdoors and use them to create a collage within this frame.
Take these sheets outside attached to a clipboard, find a calm spot and make marks/drawings to reflect what you can see, hear, smell, etc.
Have fun!

We have decided to focus on the most iconic and distinct looking birds you may see in a UK Garden in order to encourage young children to look closely at clear similarities and differences between a handful of birds, rather than confuse them with too many. Ideal for 1-6 year olds. Birds include: Magpie, Blackbird, Robin, Blue Tit and Pigeon.

Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Feed the Sparrow’ counting puzzles? Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number beside the sparrow with the corresponding number of hazelnuts to feed them.
Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further challenge, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence.
Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the hazelnuts, counting as they go.
In addition, each number is also written as a word. For our youngest children, this adds to learning about text in the environment and how it has meaning. Our oldest children may start to recognise the words and associate them with the numbers. This will be beneficial for when they begin to read and write these words in subsequent years as they will have something to build on.

‘Sleeping Bunnies’ Nursery Rhyme Individual Handout. Why not send these home for children to enjoy sharing with their families? Small enough to fit in children’s bags and won’t waste too much printer ink, but will still encourage communication and language development at home.
Children may also enjoy sharing what they have learnt at school/your setting regarding the rhyme, whether it be actions, new key words or letters and sounds or simply being able to recite the whole rhyme rhythmically. It also may encourage children to share with their families insights into their day e.g. ‘We played a game where our teacher pretended to be a nursery rhyme character and we had to guess which one she was’, or ‘We all took turns using puppets to act it out!

‘Sleeping Bunnies’ Nursery Rhyme Large Sequence Cards. Useful for an interactive display focusing on ordering events, or an activity with an individual child or large group.
The cards could be used as a sequencing activity or teaching prompts to learn the nursery rhyme and focus on its content through visual aids.
Younger children will love to explore the rhythm and rhyme of this nursery rhyme and join in, especially with the aid of visual stimulus.
Perhaps with older children you might like to highlight the CVC words to practise blending or identify all of the Phase 2 or 3 sounds or high frequency words?
For our younger children this nursery rhyme really lends itself to the physical actions of children pretending to be sleeping bunnies and then jumping up and hopping around at the right time! Have fun!
