Painting Turtles in Sea World

This week, children are exploring sea animals through a variety of engaging learning experiences. As part of this focus, children participated in a turtle-themed art activity to explore the sea world and develop their learning.

Paper plates were provided for children to create the shells of the turtles. Children used brushes and cups to dab and paint onto the surface, experimenting with yellow and green paint. This art experience supported children to recognise sea animals while developing their sensory awareness through exploring different textures.

Children showed enjoyment as they used their hands and brushes to dip into the paint and observe the colours mixing on the paper plates. Through creating patterns on the turtle shells, children began to notice simple patterns and shapes and expressed excitement as they viewed their finished turtle artworks.

Slippery Fish & Felt Sea Animals

This group time experience invites children to explore sea animals through music, movement, and sensory play using the Slippery Fish song and felt sea animals. During group time, children engaged with the felt board as the song was sung, listening attentively and showing excitement as the sea animals were introduced.

Children were supported to copy simple Auslan signs for the fish demonstrated throughout the song, encouraging communication, imitation, and early language development. As the experience continued, children looked for sea animals hidden underneath the blue shredded paper, sparking curiosity and anticipation.

Through handling the felt sea animals, children explored and compared different sizes, supporting early mathematical thinking and sensory exploration. This playful, interactive experience encouraged participation, listening, and enjoyment while supporting children’s learning through music and hands-on discovery.

Suggestion For Families

Families play a vital role in promoting critical literacy skills in young children.Oral language development, pre-reading development, and pre-writing development are fostered by parents, family members, and caregivers (Piquette, 2023). This development depends not only on the behavior of young children but also on how adults carry out literacy activities.By creating a supportive and stimulating environment at home, parents can instill a love for reading, curiosity for learning, and the ability to question and analyze information.Engaging in literacy activities together strengthens family bonds and creates lasting memories.
