This week at The Academy of Westhaven, we dove deep into the magical world Under the Sea! Our little ocean explorers had an unforgettable time discovering marine life, engaging in hands-on activities, and making a splash with fun!
We began the week with Ocean Habitat Exploration, where the children learned all about life beneath the waves. From sea turtles to jellyfish, our little learners explored ocean zones and discovered what makes each part of the sea special.
A true highlight of the week was our special guest appearance from a real-life mermaid! The look of wonder on the children’s faces as she swam in and shared stories of the sea was absolutely priceless. She answered questions, sang songs, and even posed for photos, creating memories our students will treasure forever.
Midweek, we made waves during Shark Week Water Day! From shark-themed splash pad fun to water relay games, the laughter and squeals of excitement filled the air. Our little sharks had a blast cooling off and learning all about these fascinating sea creatures.
We wrapped up the week with a creative art adventure, designing our very own coral reefs! Using colorful materials like dyed pasta, tissue paper, and pipe cleaners, the children created vibrant underwater scenes while learning about the importance of coral ecosystems.
Our Under the Sea week was a splash-tastic success, filled with discovery, imagination, and fun.
Stay tuned as we continue to explore, create, and play all summer long!
