How can we encourage people to do more of this? In this activity, your Ks1 class will read through the sentences and add in the capital letters and full stops to punctuate the sentences.

Tem ilustrações muito bonitas e é uma história bem significativa, com pedagogia (bastante ) sem se tornar chato. Gostei bastante e embora as idades recomendadas sejam algo muito subjetivo, diria que por ser simples, com frases curtas e ainda por cima parece que acompanham o saco quando ele flutua por todo lado, é para idades entre os 6 e os 8 anos. Lógico que para quem como eu adora ler livros infanto-juvenis é também aconselhável dos 0 aos 100😁 We have differentiated this resource six ways duo you can choose which best suits your Year 1 kids and Year 2 kids.Again, this might be a useful activity to cut out the passages to allow your class to work and rework their sequence should they need to. Understanding the World ELG: The Natural World. Explore the natural world around them, making observations and drawing pictures of animals and plants. Using Somebody Swallowed Stanley as a starting point, compare plastic and cotton shopping bags and help children to understand that plastic bags are bad for sea creatures when they end up in the ocean. Talk about the advantages of cotton bags over plastic bags (they are much more sturdy, and if cotton fabric is thrown away it doesn’t harm wildlife in the same way). Provide plain cotton bags, non-toxic fabric paint and printing resources, and let children decorate their own bags. Use the children’s creations throughout the setting to demonstrate the versatility of fabric bags.

Somebody swallowed Stanley is a brilliant and clever book that educates children on the dangers of plastic pollution. My daughter, who loves all things ocean was very moved by this book. Naturalist and conservationist Sarah Roberts tells the story of Stanley who is a plastic bag that is dropped into the ocean. Ocean Animals confuse Stanley for jellyfish and find themselves coughing and choking while trying to swallow him. In the end a child finds Stanley and recycles him into a kite. He does this as opposed to binning him which I thought was astute. Look at photos and videos of jellyfish and make some illustrations or paintings of them. Combine the pictures made by everyone in your class to make a huge underwater display. We love this non-fiction book because unusually for a book aimed at EYFS, it has photographs rather than illustrations. This book contains 24 National Geographic photographs of water being collected, stored, transported and shared in different ways around the world. Each picture has a brief caption of two or three words, with longer descriptions of the photographs and a map of the world at the end of the book. For water related activities, see our looking through water STEM at home activity and our floating flowers activity. Whenever I spot a fellow shopper using reusable bags in a local store, I feel as if I've seen a unicorn. Clearly, the area in which I live needs some basic awareness and education about plastic bags and the alternatives to them. Understanding the World ELG: The Natural World.
