Endless Ocean

We used Endless Ocean as a stimulus within our teaching for the 'power of imagery' Primary Framework unit for poetry. Have a look at the results below - the game was perfect for what we used it for. Being able to swim around at random, as well as complete tasks and further the game, meant that the children were able to fully immerse (submerse?!) themselves in the underwater world. The detail of the game is such that there is a great deal of flora and fauna to be examined, as well as simply being able to discuss what was happening - how the light changes in different parts of the sea, the sounds, furthermore the emotions evoked by what we were doing. We felt that the children were inspired to use deeper and richer vocabulary, as well as coming up with some thoughtful and imaginative similes and metaphors. A resounding success!
