Super Squid

This week saw us introduce Jill Eggleton's big book - Super Squid! Having read the story we spoke about the giant squid. We also showed them this video.

                                          

We felt that the story lent itself to explore measurement. We looked at the various depths of the oceans and the children were enthralled.......especially with the Twilight and Midnight zone!

                                  

After discussing the story Mel and I thought that the children would have fun seeing exactly how huge all these animals were.We presented them with this worksheet .......

We proceeded down to the staff carpark to measure the length of the four creatures in the story namely the whale, the hammerhead shark, the giant squid and lastly the fang tooth fish.

 They were absolutely amazed at how big the sperm whale was.........18m WOW!! They discovered a problem when they had to measure the fang tooth as it was only 16cm long! Eventually we decided that it would be best to draw it in our books!
