Chat on the Mat Time

Our new topic, for Chat on the Mat Time, is called 'Under the Sea'. Today, we are going to learn about some sea creatures. First, we would like you to tell a grown up the names of the sea creatures you can see below.  Parents: If your child needs support, say the name and ask them to repeat it after you.

Super learning! Now, let's play a game called 'What am I?'. We will give you some clues, and you have to guess what sea creature it is, good luck.

1. I have a hard shell on my back. I have cousins that live on land called tortoises. What am I?

2. I have a pointy fin on my back. I have sharp teeth and eat other fish. What am I?

3. I have a big head. I have 8 legs. What am I?

4. I have 2 sharp claws called pincers. I walk sideways on sand. What am I?

Scroll down to the bottom for the answers.
