We have been working on a thematic unit based around the book "The Rainbow Fish". We have looked at the interactive story and read the book. Here Sophie is creating her Rainbow Fish, decorating it with shiny scales she used a circle punch to create.
She demonstrates excellent attention to detail!
We then made them into puppets for some imaginative play and to assist in building the ability to recount a story. Scarlett is the little blue fish. The story reinforces the importance of kindness and sharing in order to establish friendships.
This lesson then flowed onto a Numeracy activity based around a children's song about "5 Jellyfish". Sophie constructed the 5 Jellyfish and then we had great fun knocking them off their "rock" and into the water...the beginning of subtraction and counting backwards. ("How many are left?")
In unrelated news, Sophie and Lisa discovered they have the same shoes!!
