As part of our programme planning this week based on our children interest about sea creatures, fish and fishing rods, they had create and made there own fish and fishing rods. So at our mat time we went through our karakia, so that the tamariki could have some fruit.
When they had all finished eating we sangs some waiata, (the waiata that I had mention in my last story; Making fishing rods-23rd September 2010), and did lots of actions by making lots of fish and sea creature noises or sounds. And pretending that we were in the water swimming aroud like a fish.
Then we had a story about fishing, the children were allow to share there experiences of fishing or eating fish. It was good to hear about their whanau going fishing and some of their whanau members would take them along too. When some of our whanau do go fishing the teachers in our Centre are give some...yummy fish!
While still here on the whaariki (mat) I was able to introduce to our tamariki real fishing rods. Again from the books that we had looked at I showed them the parts of the rod and while pointing to these parts I got the children to repeat after me.
Our tamariki were really keen to have a go, as I show them what they needed to do. So who would like to have a turn on the fishing rods.
All our tamariki were keen to have a turn.

This must be fun Yvonne!. This is a very great idea of learning for children within your centre.You also gave them opportunity to scrutinize the real thing that they sometimes only see in their imagination or in the television or books. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fun. Children enjoyed playing with fishing rods. It was a great link to social studies. Well done! However, what you do think about this visit? how this relates to social studies and how would you extend children's interests?
