As well as sharing books together, the children could have fun developing their reading skills while out enjoying their daily exercise. There are so many letters, numbers and signs in the world around us so they can keep their eyes peeled for lots of examples.
• What numbers can you find? What number does your house have? Can you find that number on another door?
• Some of the children showed great interest in clocks last term. Are there any clocks outside in Annan?
• What about cars? Can you find your age on a registration plate? Or a letter that is in your name?
• Are there any symbols on road signs or letters on the roads?
• What letter does your name start with? Can you find it on a sign anywhere?
• Do any of the shops in Annan have a logo as well as a name on their sign?
You could take photos of all the letters, numbers and signs that you find when out and about then talk about your findings when you get home. You may well be surprised how many symbols and signs there are in the world around us.
