Under the sea theme - Week 7 – 13.7.20
Year 1
We hope you have enjoyed taking part in the other learning activities you have
completed at home.
This week our learning theme is ‘Under the sea and the seaside.’ We will be
learning about sea creatures and their habitats and the impact humans have on
marine environments, for example, plastic found in the oceans and litter left on
the beaches.
Sea creatures exist in oceans and seas all around the world! Sea creatures live
in different habitats. Some fish live on coral reefs, others inhabit shipwrecks
and some live close to the shore in rock pools. Sea creatures are as varied as
their habitats. They are all different shapes and sizes; from octopi to whales,
jellyfish to sea snakes and seahorses to crabs, they are all very different, but
they all live in the oceans and seas around the world.

Year 1
This week we will be looking at sun and water safety and planning a trip to the
seaside. Challenges have been set for the children to work through with you. We
will be thinking about how we can keep our beaches and seas clean.
Personal, Social, Health and Emotional Education (PSHE)
Talk about when you have been to the seaside as a family.
What did they enjoy the most? Why was it so good?
Plan a day out with your child. It could be to the seaside at Burnham on Sea or
Weston-Super-Mare or further away. What would they like to do?
Build a huge sandcastle, dig a moat or go for a swim in the sea?
Maybe have a lovely ice-cream!
Help your child learn about safety at the beach and sun safety for their trip.
Can your child name some items you will need to take with you?
Ask your child to write the names of the items on paper in a list. This will make
sure you don’t forget them!
Sun safety.
Talk about keeping safe in the sun, ask your child to tell you
what they need to do.
Ask the following questions.
Why do we need to use sunscreen?
What could happen to our skin if we did not use it? Which clothes should you
wear to the beach?
Why do you need to cover your body and wear a hat?
Keeping hydrated
Talk to your child about drinking lots of water. Did you know our bodies are
made up of up to 60% water? Our hearts and brains are each made
of 73% water. We lose water from our bodies when we exercise or
when we sweat and get hot! We need to replace all the water we
lose, so we must drink lots of water each day.
This chart helps you and your child see how much fluid everyone needs to drink
each day.
Children draw your own poster to show others how to stay safe in the sun.
You need a title, pictures, bullet points and short sentences or captions and
remember to use your phonics, to help you spell the words.
Enjoy your time at home together, but please make sure everyone keeps
safe in the sun at home and at the seaside
Literacy
Reading and Writing
It is important to hear your child read as often as possible, but it is also
important to help them understand what they have read. Reading together can
be one of the most rewarding activities you can take part in with your child. If
reading is fun, your child will enjoy it more!
We are looking at two books this week, they are:
Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae, Illustrated by David Wojtowycz,
and The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister.
Commotion in the Ocean Activities -

Ask your child to think about the poems. What do they notice? Can they think of
rhyming words of their own to match some of those in the story?
Ask your child to fill in the rhyming words sheet provided below.
Encourage your child to write a shape poem. Poems do not have to rhyme, but they can.
Ask your child to think of a sea creature they would like to write their poem about.
They can then draw their own creature and write their poem inside it. An example of

Help him make up some new parts to the song. Work on singing your words
clearly and keeping to the pitch of the song.
RE
Different people in the world believe different things and sometimes have
special books that they read. Christians read the Bible to find out what God is
like and his plan for their lives.
In the Bible there is a story about a man called Jonah who sank down into the
sea and was swallowed by a big fish. Listen to the story carefully:
