Curriculum

Under the Sea Pencil Control Sheet - Alongside gross motor skills, children can work on their fine motor development with these themed pencil control sheets. I have worked in the textile industry for over 30 years, after gaining an HND in Fashion Design. I began my career in the fashion industry with Courtaulds then moving into interiors, specifically, floor coverings. I joined James Turtle at The Turtle Mat Company in 2002 after gaining a masters degree in Design Studies. I worked on various projects including designing and launching their range of Cotton Turtle mat design mats which have gone on to great success building the company into a multi million pound concern. Following the sale of Turtle Mat to a large American corporate I moved on and have now joined Atlantic Mats. That’s not the case with MSC Cruises though – their itineraries will always visit at least one other destination, so you will at least need your passport to board the ship. 6. Ocean Cay is a Man-Made Island These under the sea modelling dough mats provide plenty of opportunities for children to get creative when using modelling dough! Children can fill in the missing elements of the images, such as turtle shells, seaweed, or the sea animal itself, to create a lovely under the sea scene with modelling dough.

Our sister brand Cotswold Rope uses traditional techniques and UK sourced materials to produce baskets, fruit bowls, trays and rope doormats. The baskets look great filled with plants and are equally useful for all types of storage. Available in four sizes and seven colours, there is something for all colour schemes and uses. Manipulating and shaping the modelling dough is also a brilliant way for children to work on their fine motor skills and control. Your children will have so much fun being creative and playing with the modelling dough, they won't even realise that they're developing such an important skill. How can I use these under the sea modelling dough mats in a lesson? Using our Under the Sea Word Mat with handy illustrations of each marine word, they can do other ocean activities like an I Spy challenge, or a Counting and Matching Puzzle. They could write a story about sea creatures using their new vocabulary in action.

There are some cruise lines that own private islands that offer itineraries only sailing to that destination – for those, you don’t need your passport at all for the entire cruise. A birth certificate will suffice.

Children will really enjoy learning about some of the wildlife they might encounter when visiting the beach, and about the weird and wonderful animals that live Under the Sea. One of the evening excursions available on Ocean Cay is the Sunset Evening Beach Picnic. This isn’t so much an excursion as the chance to enjoy your own picnic under the stars, and it includes a basket with a blanket, a bottle of sparkling wine and various foods and desserts. The waters around Ocean Cay are really clear and clean too, which makes them really pleasant for swimming. You’ll see some marvellous wildlife too. There’s no need for a pool when the lagoons are this pristine. 5. You Don’t Need Your Passport To Visit the Island Lots of sealife have gills that allow them to breathe underwater, apart from mammals who come to the surface to get some air. There are also animals who live on the seashore like crabs. In our pursuit to reduce waste and protect our limited resources, we developed Ocean Mats, a range of hard-wearing, washable doormats.A great aid for independent writing - why not laminate for re-use? Also available in cursive and precursive. Children can add to this to their word mat collection as they learn new words for topics like Under the Sea. It’s a lovely way to end your day on the private island and if you can find a quiet spot (which shouldn’t be difficult) then it can be a really romantic, memorable moment. 18. There’s a Lighthouse You Can Climb Sea Creatures Posters- These vibrant posters feature illustrations of sea animals and their names. Use them as part of a display or as visual aids during your teaching. Our staff are highly valued and respected. They are listened to and consulted. After all, they are one of the company's most valued assets.
