Themes: Imagination Overcoming disappointment Sharing Sea creatures Playing with friends Discussion Points Why do you think that Billie didn't want to go to Kinder? Do you sometimes feel that way about going to school? How did Billie react when she couldn't be a mermaid? Have you ever reacted like this when something didn't go the way that you wanted it to? Who and what helped Billie get over her disappointment of not being a mermaid? The children all imagined that they were sea creatures? Do you ever play games like this with your friends? Can you name some of the sea creatures that were in their ‘Underwater Adventure’? The children all had a delicious sea banquet of items like seashell cakes, starfish pies and seaweed spaghetti. As a class, look at the page spread of this and see how many others you can see. Activities: Just like the children do at the at the end of the story, make and decorate ‘sea creature mobiles’ out of paper plates. Then display them all around your classroom!
