Video Watching – Whale Shark

This short video shows clearly the features of a whale shark. The children were amazed to know that the whale shark doesn’t have sharp teeth like other shark. Even though it’s the biggest fish in the ocean yet it doesn’t bite.

Today, we continued to explore a little further about sharks. We went through the book “Sharks, Big Bigger Biggest” to find out more about Port Jackson sharks, Zebra Sharks and the Great White Shark.

The children were very interested about Great White Shark. Looking at it’s sharp teeth the children can’t stop talking about how it bites, how its’sharp teeth looks like.

Book Sharing: Big Shark’s Lost Tooth by Steve Metzger

This is about a Lemon Shark named Chomp who had lost his first tooth. He was wondering if the Tooth Fairy who used to visit boys and girls on land would come to visit him.

Due to insufficient time, we read only up until the part where Chomp was wondering if the Tooth Fairy would visit him. We shall continue the story some other time.
