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
