Sea Creatures

We discussed what we had seen on the beach. Unfortunately, there was some litter and we learned that the litter could harm the animals that live in the sea. Ms Shirley helped us decide which items should be on the beach, like shells and crabs; and which things should be thrown in the bin, like plastic bags and aluminium cans. We dissected a fish with Ms Melanie and looked at the scales and the gills as well as the inside of the fish. In Ms Jacqueline's group, we learned that fish have fins to help them balance and they use their tail fin to move them forward. We also learned that all fish have black eyes. We made our own 3D fish.

Beach Trip

We had a wonderful morning on the beach! We used all our senses to enjoy the experience to the fullest. We saw the sand, the sea, ships, crabs, birds and plants. We heard the waves and the birds. We could smell the salty smell of the sea. We could feel the sand, the pebbles, shells and the water. When we had finished exploring the beach, we tasted some cool, clear water from the Boat Club. We walked back to school and enjoyed talking about our morning at the beach.

Sand and Water Entry Point

 

 We had such fun playing with sand and water during the entry point to our new topic. Ms Melanie, Ms Sally and Ms Jessica all helped to set up these fun activities and we had the opportunity to experience what happens to sand when it gets wet, to make our own mini water features, to sift through sand, to pour and measure, to wash the dolls and do our own washing and hang it on the line. We can't wait for our trip to the beach tomorrow to explore what we can see, touch, hear, taste and smell when the land meets the sea!
