Kiwis - Pretend play "Clean the ocean"

We set up a polluted ocean in the Drama room with plastic fish caught in fishing net, trash cans, plastic bottles and boxes. The kids helped us to clean the ocean and free the fish from their nets.We explained to them then how important is to take care of our planet Earth by putting our daily trash in the bin and not to throw it on the  ground or in the rivers, seas or oceans.

The whole group was very active in pretend play by involving themselves in cleaning all the garbage from the ocean.

Purpose: To learn being aware about cleaning and taking care about the environment.

We searched the whole school looking for the sounds of Jolly Phonics by first listening to the teacher pronounce it and then we went looking for it.
