Head over to the Year 4 Virtual Library and watch Week 3 Lesson 1 video where I read pages 32 – 41.  

I wonder if these Seawigs are a real thing, in real life? What do you think?  

Today I would like you to design and create your very own Seawig! There are a few ways you could do this:  

• Option 1: Find as many things around your house, balance them on your head/arms, shoulders! Take a picture. Then describe yourself as a Rambling Isle with your Seawig! 
• Option 2: Draw your own Rambling Isle and draw on its Seawig! Then describe the Seawig.  
• Option 3: Create a digital Rambling Isle using an app or software you already have. If you wish to download anything else, you must ask your parent/guardian first! Then describe your own Seawig. 
• Option 4: Design and make your very own 3D Rambling Isle and Seawig using junk modelling resources you may have at home! Then describe your Seawig.  

You may have noticed that they all involve describing the Seawig – there is no escaping that one! However you choose to create your Seawig it doesn’t matter, so long as you have something you can describe.  

Enquiry

Before we begin today's learning, here is a little puzzle for you. Can you unscramble the anagrams to reveal key vocabulary about the world's oceans from our learning last week? Answers can be found in the Lesson Plan.

Today, we are DIVING into the world of oceanography. We are going to IMMERSE ourselves in the wonders of the ocean floor. We wouldn't be able to do this without the pioneering work of an important scientist, Marie Tharp, about 70 years ago. She helped to solve the puzzle of what lurks below, finding a way to map the ocean floor of the Atlantic. Watch the video to find out more.
