Visit a river, lake or a harbour and see what different boats you can find. Do they use the wind to move along or are they motorboats? Do they carry passengers or are they boats just for fun?

Ideas for Later
Can you make boats for your toys? You could make a big boat - an ocean liner using a large cardboard box or laundry basket or you could make a small boat from an ice cream container or shoebox. Look around and see what else you could use?
You could make up a story about a boat and you could be the captain. A bed or a lounge can be a boat and under a table could be a submarine. All sorts of adventures can happen when you set sail in your imaginary boat.

Visit an art gallery and take a look at the faces in different paintings. Look for the different parts of the face. Does the person look old or young? Has the artist used lots of different colours or just a few or maybe just black?
In Greek matia is the word for eyes and aftia the word for ears. Ask someone you know if they know another word for eyes or ears or if they can sing a song in a different language to the one you normally use.
