Lesson Planning

Role-play exploring the seabed. Use ‘sea cave’ feely boxes to investigate using sense of touch. Create a self-portrait as a scuba diver.

Teaching Outcomes
To use the sense of touch to describe the material properties of objects in a feely box, using observations and own experience to inform identification.
To create a self portrait of a deep sea diver, using photomontage techniques.
To know some of the features of the undersea landscape and use correct geographical vocabulary to describe them.

Children will:

• Develop an understanding of the landscapes of the Atlantic Ocean’s seabed.
• Draw upon the sense of touch to make observations and predictions.
• Creat self-portraits as scuba divers using photographs and simple montage techniques.
• Listen to whale and dolphin songs as examples of how animals communicate beneath the waves.
