As part of our topic ‘Under the Sea’ we have read the story Somebody Swallowed Stanley by Sarah Roberts.

 

In this story a plastic bag is blown into the ocean and goes on a bit of journey meeting lots of different sea creatures.

 

The Jellyfish can’t work out what type of sea creature Stanley is.

 

Some of the creatures he met got into a little bit of difficulty as plastic bags are not supposed to be in the ocean.

 

Stanley ends up washed up on the beach and is found by a little boy who turns him into something useful.  He turns him into a kite.

 

We used plastic bags to make our own Jellyfish in the Art & Design Area. 

 

We cut the bags into long strips to use for the tentacles and stuck them to the inside of a bowl.  Once the tentacles were dry we used smaller pieces of the plastic bag to cover the body and added eyes. 

 

We love how long and colourful the tentacles are and we think they look amazing hanging in the corner of our classroom.
