Our final topic for Summer 2 in Reception is…
Throughout this topic we will transport ourselves to the hot, leafy, rainy jungle where we will learn all about what lives there and compare this environment to our own.
To help us become real jungle explorers, we will listen to and talk about non-fiction books all about the jungle to help us develop a deep familiarity with new knowledge and vocabulary!
We would love to find out about what you already know about the jungle!
Answer the question below on our class blog…
What might you see and hear in the jungle?
We will share all of your responses in class which will create some fantastic discussions!
In the jungle you could see sloths. I like sloths because they go gently on the trees but don’t jump. You might hear jaguars… i’m not sure what noise they make. Do you? You might see or hear parrots. I like parrots, parrots are colourful. I love the rainforest.
My favourite animal is the lion king because he is the strongest animal in the jungle. I also love the cheetah because he is the fastest animal in the jungle even faster than a lion or an elephant. I also love the elephant because he is very big and strong like the lion. And elephants have the best memory and they never ever forget anything. Even, elephants don’t forget all about space. I also love the tiger because his eyes can glow in the dark. I also love parrots because they are colourful and I love the colours of the rainbow.
My favourite jungle animals are giraffes, monkeys and elephants. I like giraffes because they have long necks, I like monkeys because they make a funny noise and they bang their chests. I like elephants the most because I saw some in real life with my cousin Noah on our family holiday in Sri Lanka last year. I also have two books about giraffes which I love (Giraffes Can’t Dance and The Giraffe who got in a knot).
I think you did good work
I might see a butterfly in the jungle or even a cheetah.🐆 Most probably a big lion. 🦁 Snakes have sharp teeth and can bite you. But there are also some kind snakes. 🐍
The animals you can find in the jungle are tigers, jaguars and snakes. I like tigers because they have stripes and roar. Some elephants, sloths, monkeys, gorillas and parrots live in the jungle. Gorillas are huge and bang their chest.
In the jungle, you may hear Jaguars and see Jaguars in the jungle. You can see or hear, monkeys and tigers and lions and lots of of elephants and things and giraffe and, butterflies and dragonflies and parrots and crocodiles.
In the jungle, you also see, Gorillas and their families, and they are really big and black.
I like Jaguars the most because they keep lots of gods and they’re pretty.

In the jungle, you can see snakes, long snakes and little snakes and their family, and they live in trees and water.
And the jungle is in Africa.

Lions have a mane and lions are the king of the jungle. Tigers have stripes. Gorillas bang their chests. Chimpanzees know people – they might wave to you. Giraffes necks are tall. Snakes have long tongues. Jungles have loads of leaves and trees.
I LOVE all of the animals. I can’t choose which animal I like the most.
