The Cooper children have continued their inquiry into animal
habitats by investigating ocean environments. They have painted with blue wash
over oil pastel and made collages on the light table. They also used playdough
and pebbles to create a sea floor for the sea creature figure toys. The
children played with the creatures making them swim, dive and hide in the sand…
“This whale, dad whale a’ this mama whale” Kate showed Pauline.
Pauline picked up a lobster and said to Kate, “Lobsters, they have
snippers.”
“Baby whale eat them” said Kate as she swam a whale towards the
lobster.
“No they can’t, they swim away” answered Pauline as she hid the
lobster toy under the table.
“It’s a big one!” warned Harry A. swimming a shark around.
Later in the week we read There’s
a Hippopotamus on the Roof Eating Cake and discussed where hippos might
live. The farm, zoo and jungle were all suggestions and next week this is
something we will be looking into further. Any related show and tells would be
most welcome!
Kind regards,
Ali and Coral
