This week’s theme: Under the Sea
Curriculum
area
Suggested activity
Science Pollution
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – The seas and oceans all over the world are being polluted
by rubbish and waste. This is having a huge impact on the environment and marine life.
This simple experiment demonstrates how the sea changes when waste is dumped into
the sea. Use a clear jar/bowl and fill it with water. Place some shells, stones or sand into the
bottom and some plastic fish or sea animals (if you have them) into the water. Use some waste
plastic (yoghurt tubes, crisp packets etc) and food colouring (to represent oil waste) to change
the water and discuss what is happening. What will happen to the fish and other sea life if the
sea’s become full of plastic waste? Will it be safe for the animals to live?
Year 3 / 4 – Watch this video about the great barrier reef on you tube to find out about what is
so special about it and what lives there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61RzwbaSoeU
(Youtube: Check Out the Great Barrier Reef!)
Now research how the great barrier reef is in danger and what this might mean for all the
habitats and how we can help.
Year 5 /6 – Watch the Newsround clip, and then be creative in your thinking, to find a way to
persuade others to re-think their use of plastic. This may be through a letter, a poster or even a
leaflet! https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47979998 (BBC Newsoround: Plastic: It’s in the sea, in
the sky, and on the land)
Art Under the sea
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Can you research the artist Matisse? Some of the Year 1 children
should remember him! Can you then make a Matisse inspired coral reef piece of art? 1. Use a
blank sheet of paper as your canvas. 2. Cut large and bold coral reef shapes from different
coloured paper or tissue paper. 3. Layer and overlap these shapes onto your canvas so that they
make a bright coral reef scene. 4. Next, cut out shapes of sea creatures, such as fish, starfish
and octopuses. 5. Position these shapes amongst the coral reef shapes on your canvas. 6. When
you are happy with your under the sea picture, use glue to stick your shapes in place.
Year 3 / 4 – Can you experiment with different tones of blue to make a picture of the famous
RMS Titanic shipwreck? Research what happened to sink the unsinkable ship and where it sank.
You can use any medium you prefer, like pastels, crayons, paint, water colours, or oil pastels.
Year 5 /6 – Choose a sea creature, begin by sketching it and then choose a variety of different
materials to create a collage.
Transition Whole school activity:
Begin by reflecting on the skills and attributes which have you developed this year at school.
Which of these do you think would be the most important for someone else starting in the year
group you are about to leave next year. Find a way to represent your skill or attribute that can be
shared with others to help them next year.
Jigsaw
(PSHCE)
Whole school activity:
What would you like your new teacher to know about you in readiness for next year? What makes
you – you? What makes you different from others? What helps you to learn in the classroom?
What subjects are your favourite or even your worst? Design and create an all about me guide –
draw a picture of yourself and write down all the things you would like your teacher to know
about you for next year!
Gilberdyke Sock Olympics
A description of each challenge along with a copy of your scorecard is included on the next 2 pages in this pack!
The deadline for submitting your scorecards is 10am Friday 16th July
