The Squirrels enjoyed exploring our under-the-sea themed activity, where they were encouraged to use their imagination and creativity while learning about the underwater world. The children observed the colourful underwater projection and showed curiosity as they talked about the different sea creatures, colours and patterns they could see.
The Squirrels then created their own colourful fish, making independent choices about the colours, shapes and materials they wanted to use. They carefully cut, stuck and arranged the resources, developing their fine-motor skills, hand–eye coordination and concentration. The children were excited to share their finished fish with their friends and talk about their individual designs.
During the activity, the Squirrels developed their communication and language skills as they described their creations and discussed what they knew about fish and life under the sea. They also explored mathematical concepts by noticing different colours, shapes, sizes and patterns. This experience supported their understanding of the natural world and encouraged them to make connections with sea creatures and their underwater habitats.
The activity provided opportunities for the Squirrels to develop confidence, independence and creativity while working alongside their peers. They showed enjoyment and pride in their creations, and the experience encouraged further curiosity about the ocean and the creatures that live within it.
