Dear parents!
I would be grateful if you could encourage your child to do a few activities online.
First, they should watch a Peppa pig cartoon. After watching the cartoon, please ask your child
which animals (s)he saw in the video. He or she should draw and tell as many animals as he or she
can remember from the cartoon.
Then, the child should guess the zoo animals in the video clip (Learn Zoo Animals for Kids). (S)he
should observe and guess the animals only in the first minute of the clip.
Next, your child can play a word game about animals. (S)he should listen to the name of the
animal and then drag the word to the suitable picture.
Finally, your child should find a stuffed (plush) or any other animal in your home and take a
picture of it. Please help your child to download it to his or her e-notebook.
Thank you for your support!
