Chapple and Edgerley rooms





This week the Chapple and Edgerley children continued their fascination about the sea and we enquired about things that live above the sea and things that we find under the sea. They were given a piece of blue cellophane that they stuck onto the bottom of a sheet of paper and used different drawing utensils to illustrate their discussions.
Ryan said ‘under the sea is maybe a squid, two fish or lots of fish’
Jazz added ‘Sand at the beach, a man, ice cream van, people running to the ice cream. Fish under the water’
Louie explained ‘My baby is kicking in the sea and I am swimming in the sea with the fish and I built a sandcastle with a moat around it so when the waves come it won’t wash away. My family are having their holiday, we are having six sandcastles if one gets washed away we have a spare one’
Nickolas M used craypas and a silver pen to illustrate a scene and described it: ”A big shark, an octopus, two fish and another octopus live under the water. Above the sea my family is next to an ice cream van and flowers that Bash got. We are laying down on the sand watching the sun”
