Ocean life/sea and Animal unit bundle
⭐Ocean life and Animals are such fun topics to teach. I love to plan my units of work so that they link across all curriculum areas making learning more authentic, engaging and relevant.
My resources are not a print and go resource, they are designed for you to create your own unit of work using the plethora of links and ideas included in the pack. Many months of researching the internet go into my planning of these thematic units, so that you will have hours of your precious time saved researching the topic
⭐The animal and sea themed bundles for year 1 are now available. These booklets can easily be adapted and modified to use with a kinder or year 2 class.
⭐Each unit has a fully interactive timetable linked to my Pinterest boards, so in essence these resources will grow as I add more great websites and activities to these boards. Buying the bundle makes them a very affordable resource. (After all, what price to you put on your precious time. when I have spent hours doing all of that ground work for you).
Explore the links and adapt the content and website links to suit your teaching style and the needs of your classes.
