The children have shown care for sea creatures by being concerned that water pollution might hurt them. Who's responsible for keeping the oceans clean?
"We are!" said everyone. "My dad is!" said Esme

| Using books to research! |
What animals live in water and what animals drink water?
On a chart I used a red marker to collect the children's prior knowledge.
Then the children used non-fiction books to research more animals and an orange marker was used to add these animals to the chart.
This process illustrated for the children how their knowledge can grow with research.
Here's a link the children enjoyed featuring a song about keeping the ocean clean.

The children concentrated as they coloured pictures of sea creatures and created their own ocean scene.

I really hope they continue this philosophy into later life. Though if Esme's dad fixes the Oceans I will be eternally grateful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure a lot of us would have said the same things when we were younger, what happens to us?
I think we lose the sense of play which ties us so wonderfully to the earth and all her needs. Let's get all of us together from the Creative Minds "family" to lead a revolution in playfulness and thoughtfulness. Thanks for your posts Stuart. We're lucky to have parents like you and children like Alfie (and Esme for highlighting her dad's efforts).
