Who can remember what we are learning about...Under The Sea. Which animals have we learnt about so far? Fish and octopus.
Let’s sing our ‘Slippery Fish’ song to discover who we are learning about next!
Turtle! This week we will be learning all about turtles, how exciting!
Let’s play this turtle shape game together:
Activity 1: Let’s head out to the garden, can you see the big turtle with shapes on his back?
What shapes are they?
Use a bean bag and see if you can throw the bean bag onto the different shapes.
Activity 2: Let’s go on a shape hunt and see what shapes are hiding around the school.
Let’s see if we can remember all the shapes we talked about yesterday and play…
Today we are going to make a turtle using different shape sponges.
Let me demonstrate how we will do this!
Let's sing together this fun turtle song
Look, we have cut some sponges into four different shapes; circle, oval, triangle and square.
Can you name all the shapes?
We are going to use one shape to print a turtle shell for the back of the turtle body.
Which shape will you choose?
Let's sing one of our favourite songs:
In our song we sang about big and small.
Today we are going to be looking very closely at things and sorting them into size categories.
First of all let's see if we can make our bodies really, really big and stretch out wide!
Now, can we make our bodies really, really small and curl up like a tiny ball.
Let's read this story together:
I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean
Which animal was the BIGGEST in the ocean?
Today we can go to our magnetic board and see if we can sort our sea creatures into 2 categories; big and small.
We can also play this fun game on our whiteboard for some extra practice too.
Let's share this turtle rhyme together:
Let's colour in this turtle! Everyone can come up to the whiteboard one by one and choose a colour and a space on the turtle to fill in. Can you name the colour that you chose?
Look at our rainbow turtle! Today we are going to work together to make a rainbow turtle. How exciting!
I wonder where turtles come from?
Let's read this short story and see where we can find baby turtles
Weren't they so cute! Now we know that turtles come from eggs let's find our egg shakers and play along to these songs:
Do you remember on Tuesday we painted a green shape, what shape did you choose? Now we will turn our shape into a turtle. Let’s add a head, 4 flippers and a tail. We have made a turtle.
