How do we enable pupils with SEN to engage in activities available to those in the school who do not have SEN? The secret to this cool marbleized pattern? Shaving cream! This is one technique that never fails to impress. I finished reading “Commotion in the Ocean” by Giles Andreae. This book is about many of the animals that live in the ocean, and that live around the ocean. It talks about all of the fish, the ones that live in shallow waters, all the way to the ones that live in deep sea at the bottom of the ocean. This book also shows animals that live out of the water as well. Like the sea turtle, crabs, polar bears, and walruses. Lessons and Standards: K-LS1-1 Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals need to survive. This book to be read aloud and then the teacher could conduct a conversation about what is needed for these animals that we just read about to survive. 2-LS4-1 Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Use the habitats discussed in this book to compare to other habitats for this lesson. Here’s another surprisingly easy ocean craft for kids. Cut disposable sponges into coral shapes, then stamp an underwater scene.

Each of these worksheets is supported by an interactive Smart board 10 notebook file to aid teaching and provide extra practice for pupils.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.

This book is about all different kinds of fish and animals that live in and around the sea. It explains each of the creatures telling what they look like and how they live. This book teaches that the ocean is way more than just a mass of water. It shows that it is a home to more living things than anyone can imagine. I believe the purpose of this book is to educate people on creatures of the sea. There is not specifically a theme in this book. The book takes place in the Ocean. The book is written in tiny poems. For each animal there are four to five line poems about each creature. The book has many characters including sharks, whales, crab, turtles, and many more. The authors use very descriptive words when describing the animals and the poem is rhymed. Fix the Picture Under the Sea Cutting Skills Worksheet - Help your children improve their cutting skills with this worksheet. It’s their job to cut out the pieces of the seabed scene and put them where they think they must go, completing the picture. They can also improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
