On Friday Reception children delved deep into their imaginations recreating our story of the week 'The Rainbow Fish'.
Our
adventure started by travelling on a bus down to the beach. We then
used all of our strength rowing ourselves out into the ocean, before
diving in and discovering all that lives under the sea.
We
became puffer fish, lantern fish, blue whales, an octopus, sharks and
even a crab, with Stephen telling us crabs move sideways! Using all of our 5 senses to recreate the smells, sights,
tastes, and sounds of the ocean. We used our sense of touch to feel some
real life sea shells.
Through our exploration of the
story the children learnt not only the importance of sharing but what makes a good friend; with each child
being given a shiny scale from the Rainbow fish.
It was a great day had
by both children and adults alike.
