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.
