Fun Facts about Octopus

Today, we explored the facts about octopus. Before we went into the facts part, I got some children to draw an octopus on the board.

Then with their drawing, we somehow learn the parts of the octopus before I played them the video about the fun facts of the octopus.

I played the video twice for the children to catch some of the points in it. Then, we went through some of the facts on board.

Basically, we just covered the following facts for today: -

1) The plural forms of octopus - octopi, octopuses, octopodes
2) Octopus has 3 hearts
3) The blood of octopus - blue
4) Octopus have suckers
5) Octopus is shy

We shall cover more facts for the rest of the week.
