Over the last few weeks we have extended our unit of inquiry to exploring the local ocean and animals and fish that live there. The children researched by watching local divers videos and books. They then chose the underwater creatures they wanted to make using a variety of materials. We know have a wonderful display of fish, octopus, whales, starfish, sting rays and turtles. The children went on to inquire about fresh water lakes and how frogs don’t like the ocean because it is salty. They also compared our tortoise to a turtle, exploring the similarities and differences. There were some wonderful learning experiences and everyone had a great time.
