Over the next few weeks our class is going to be learning about sea life. The students will first brainstorm as a class to find out how much they know about sealife, then we will either research a chosen animal and complete the worksheet, My Report On. This worksheet will allow them to use technology to research and answer questions that are being asked of them, such as what their animal does, where it live, what it eats and what it looks like.Or the students can make a report on a chosen sea animal, this task also requires them to use technology, being a computer, they will need to use microsoft powerpoint and then the internet to find images and information about their animal. There is a powerpoint template that the students can just research and fill out and an example of a completed one on the resource page,Class powerpoint example, Clownfish example powerpoint.



====The class will then take a trip to AQWA where the students will be in groups, named after characters from the film Finding Nemo, each group will have a teacher/volunteer and a camera. The task for students on this trip is to take as many photos of as many different animals that live under the sea as possible. When we get back to school we will print out all of the pictures and make a big collage to decorate the room with.====



====Students will then have the next 5 days to start planning and creating their very on under the sea dioramas. First they will watch a [|youtube] video on how to make their diorama to give them some ideas and a bit of guidance. They will get the opportunity to make some origami fish to hang in their diorama as well as have assistance to draw other animals, paint their boxes, laminate and hole punch their animals then start creating their very own under the ocean worlds. Every day the students will be required to write a journal on what the achieved that day, what they plan to achieve the following day and====

what they most enjoyed doing that day.


====The last day we will play the film [|'Finding Nemo'], after watching the film we will give the student an option of a number of worksheets they can complete which can be found on the resource page or the teacher info page. Throughout this learning experience we will also have a [|f][|a][|cebook group]that will allow parents of students to go on and have a look at what the students are learning, see pictures of what their children are creating etc, The teacher will be able to update on the page to let parents know if there is anything that they could be doing at home to help their child's learning progress and of up and coming events .====
