Nursery World - A fishy tale

Recreate the beauties of the underwater world in your classroom with a fishy display and activities by Nina Massey Our children thoroughly enjoyed a topic inspired by the book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister (North South Books, 12.99). It comprised three activities displayed in one eye-catching display. Two of the activities were planned and the third was devised spontaneously by the children themselves.
