**Fish, Fishing, Food and Farming or World Oceans Day inspired simple colouring page of a fish, probably closest to an Angel fish. **
This hand-drawn fish colouring page was created by me in 2013 while teaching abroad, in a school with limited resources, budget, and electricity. It’s a low-prep, economical, black-and-white drawing designed for a variety of educational activities. It was originally part of my geography and biology lessons with Key Stage 1 and 2 students, and also used for creative writing, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and Environmental Science (ESL) classes. Drawing from my experiences as a keen BSAC Scuba Diver and full-time explorer, I used my personal adventures to fuel the imagination for this activity.
Perfect Top-Up Activity for
- brain breaks and self regulation
- transition between topics and themes
- for mindfulness and sensory overwhelm.
- fast and early finishers as an extra resource to have at hand
- wet breaks and recess
- supply teacher quick/low prep activity
- just for fun
