Through the keyhole – Mermaid’s cave

This fantastic resource is best viewed full screen on an interactive whiteboard. Pointing at different areas of the screen allows children to move the keyhole and reveal sections of the picture. By examining what they can see through the keyhole, children will build up a picture of the room and its owner, via the different objects and details.

The mermaid’s cave could be the starting point for a whole range of cross-curricular activities. Take a look at our A2 poster and accompanying activity sheets for lots of creative ideas to extend this theme.
