We had a great week learning about sea creatures - the kids enjoyed learning their names and fun facts . For example, they loved seeing how a puffer fish puffs up when a predator tries to catch them. They also saw how there are different types of sharks and learned that the pointy thing on their back is called a fin. After learning these facts, we spent each day making art and crafts of the creatures - it allowed them to think about the body parts and colours of various sea creatures, all while having fun!
The kids also learned how to story-tell - they put their 'imagination hats' on and drew pictures on the seaside. Then they told me where their imagination hats took them - it was great to hear the kids' stories! Not only did they give meaning to their drawings but they connected ideas, as well.
I would love to see the kids continuing to 'story-tell' as this helps them to open up their minds and imagine various scenarios!
They can watch the following cartoon to perhaps get some ideas:
Ben and Holly. Then, they can draw a picture of their story! Ask them to explain their picture story and send us a photo - Have fun!
