The Activity We didn’t do this one, but I love this Don’t Soak the Shark game from Toddler Approved. It’s great for practicing letter matching. This leads into the short's only new sequence. Moe and Larry attempt to steal a female passenger's fish dinner; but end up attempting to eat a taxidermy fish; with disastrous results. Kids will definitely love personalizing their beach scenes. You can use air-dry clay or salt dough to create the sand side of your ocean scene.

Books can provide brilliant motivation for lessons, helping children to learn - even in subjects they may usually find challenging. I think that the book is a really good way to introduce creatures and animals that live in the sea to the children in a way they would understand and remember. The narrators of the story are both authors Giles and David. They tell the story from their point of view and of what they think of the creatures.You will find easy-to-print and use maths puzzles, word cards, colouring sheets and role-play resources - take a look. Lesson ideas to support the teaching of Commotion in the Ocean Starfish, more properly known as “sea stars,” come in a wide variety of sizes and designs.

Learn the zones of the ocean with these clever bottles. Simply use food coloring to dye the water deeper shades of blue to represent the amount of sunlight that reaches each zone, then add a representative sea animal toy.Plot: This plot is chronological in taking readers on a journey from the sandy beach to the bottom of the ocean, exploring all of the animals and creatures in between.

We filled up enough water balloons for each child to have three balloons. With a permanent marker, we wrote the name of each child on each balloon (you want each child to have three). We used a shepherd hook as the sword of our swordfish. Each child had to find the balloons with their names on them. This is great practice for name recognition. They then took turns throwing the balloons at the swordfish trying to pop their balloons. The characters in this book are all animals and fish. It tells about crab, turtles, dolphins, angel fish, jellyfish, shark, swordfish, octopus, stingray, lobster, whale, walrus, penguins, and polar bears.A layer of oil floating on the water helps make wave action more obvious. You can do ocean activities like this one in person or as an online demo.

This week we will be using the story 'Commotion in the Ocean'. If you do not have a copy at home then I have attached a PowerPoint and PDF copy below, along with a YouTube video of the book being read. The characters in the book are all of the animals that live in the ocean that are described in the book. It describes many of them. Like the shark, it eats other fish. The stingray will sting other creatures with the stinger on its tail. Also the blue whale, the biggest beast on the planet. Again, each of these worksheets is supported by an interactive Smart board 10 notebook file to aid teaching and provide extra practice for pupils.We took a container of wet sand and buried plastic Easter eggs in the sand. The kids used their hands and digging tools to find the turtle eggs. 8. Dolphin Talking Pool Commotion in the Ocean is a handy springboard for developing all kinds of skills across the curriculum.
