Feeling hot, hot, hot! Our pre-schoolers have been exploring the Caribbean ocean and islands.
The pre-schoolers have been having ‘a totally tropical time’ learning all about the Caribbean.
As well as doing crafty activities, such as, making jellyfish, beach scenes, seahorses and octopi, we’ve been learning about what lives in the deep depths of the ocean. The children have also got stuck into making a big art display about the children’s story The Rainbow Fish.
To begin building the children’s maths skills, we’ve been playing the adding and subtraction fish game. Whilst to aid literacy and language development, we’ve been looking at the letters that make up the days of the week, matching sounds to words with phonics games and writing words beginning with the letter ‘O’, such as, ‘Octopus’.
Our pre-schoolers have also been playing simple, fun games such as searching for fish in sparkly water (which involved plenty of splashing!) and a sandcastle building competition in our lovely indoor sandpit.
Continuing our Caribbean theme, we‘re about to start learning about sea-fairing pirates. Watch out for our pirate ship art, treasure maps and sensory trays full of gold! Ahaaaaarr!
