7 Fish

Music

Intro: When you hear the numbers show your fingers to count along.

Listen to the song.

Ask children are the 7 little fish swimming fast or slow? Slow

Why do you think the fish are swimming slowly? Because the music (tempo - speed of the beat) is slow.

Ask children to join their hands together to make a fish. Play the song again and children 'swim in time ' to the music.

Maths

Ask children to put their hands behind their back and say "show me seven fingers?"

Write the number 7

Write the word - seven

Draw seven objects

Science

"Let 's Go Fishing" Place 7 nails in a bucket of water; tie a magnet to a piece of string; how many fish can you catch?

Dance

Making pathways - students swim like a fish through the space making curved, straight, sudden turns and zigzag pathways as the teacher calls them. Freeze when the music stops.

Children need to be aware of their own 'space bubble. '
