Task


 * For the next four weeks we will be looking at animals that live under water; these are also called aquatic animals. [[image:ea3.gif]] **

** Once we have learnt and explored life under the sea we will be taking a trip to aqwa to visit some of the exciting aquatic animals we have learnt about. **** Aqwa is just like the zoo but with aquatic life living in big fish tanks. It will be super exciting when we get to walk through the aquatic tunnel with aquatic life swimming all around us. **** It is going to be very fun and exciting because we get to create and enjoy learning about aquatic life. **

** We have lots of different activities to do before we go to aqwa to make sure we know as much as we can about all the animals we might see. For our first lesson we are going to learn lots of fun fishy songs to sing as a class. Then we have an activity on the interactive whiteboard to find what animals live in the sea. We also have lots of games to play on the computers and lots if puzzles and colouring-ins. After we have looked at this we are going to do a worksheet where you cut and glue the different animals onto either the land, the sky, or in the ocean. We will **** have lots of beautiful ** ** work to hang on our fishy wall. **  ** For our next lesson we are going to start with a game of celebrity heads using the interactive whiteboard. A student will be selected to stand in front of the whiteboard and an animal that lives on the land with be placed above their head, and they must guess what animal they are. All the clues that are ask will be placed on the interactive whiteboard until the student has correctly guess their animal. After this we will then leave the classroom and explore the playground looking for lots of different materials that we can use in our collages; things like leaves, rock, and sand. When we go back to the classroom we will use these items to make a picture of the land and you can then draw different animals that live there. **

** Before we start the next activity as a class we will read the book "The Magic School Bus - On the Ocean Floor" by Joanna Cole. Then last activity before we go to aqwa is to make a beautiful colourful aquatic mammal. Each person will be given an aquatic mammal and they must decorate it with cellophane, to make beautiful and bright window decorations. **

** After we have explored the world of aquatic animals we get to visit aqwa, where we will get to see our favourite animals up close. **

** Get ready to learn and explore under the sea. **
