<\/p>\nTask 1. Explore heights using non-standard units!<\/p>\n
*Activity recommended if you have a garden* Giraffes can grow to be about 19ft tall! To see what that looks like, mark out a starting point at one end of your garden and take 19 (count out loud together!) steps in a straight line and mark the point where you finish. Take a step back and check roughly how tall a giraffe is! If you enjoyed this, why not find out the height of other animals in the story and compare their sizes!<\/p>\n

Task 2. Check out a LIVE FEED from a real zoo. Here are some links to zoos that have cameras in their giraffe enclosures. Look at how the giraffes move. What are they getting up to? What kind of food do they eat?<\/p>\n
San Diego Safari Park, USA<\/a><\/p>\n Greenville Zoo, S.A, USA<\/a><\/p>\n Folly Farm, Wales, UK <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Task 3. Become a researcher! Work with an adult to find out the answer to the following questions that you might on an animal fact file:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Task 4. The word ‘giraffe’ begins with the letter ‘G’. Here is a fun craft activity you could try that lets you explore both the letter ‘G’ and a giraffe pattern.<\/p>\n *Bonus literacy task* – Why not have a ‘G’ scavenger hunt? How many things can you find around the house that begin with the letter ‘G’?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Task 5. Life-skills, sensory and fun!<\/p>\n Here<\/a> is a link to a zoo animal game on Twinkl which you can download and play. How many animals did you guess right?<\/p>\n Here<\/a> is a link to the wonderful Singing Hands duo, Tracy and Suzanne. They are reading and signing the story ‘1, 2, 3 To the Zoo’ by Eric Carle. Have a listen and try to count how many giraffes you can see!<\/p>\n Below are links to playdough recipes. Work together to make the dough then try to roll out the different shapes of a giraffe. E.g. A round body, a long sausage-shaped neck and long thin legs.<\/p>\n Non-edible – https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/howto\/guide\/playdough-recipe<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n
