This term in Science, students in Grade Three and Four have been investigating our connection to the ocean.
They walked around an art exhibition of ocean pictures, paintings and famous quotes. (In the Science room)
Their task was to look at each exhibit and record how each one shows our connection to the ocean.
Below are some examples of what they wrote.
Imagine in the future in the younger generation we tell them how important the ocean use to be but now it is no more, and they do not believe us, the whole point is that the ocean has so much life! And so much to learn about and people who love learning about the ocean may lose their passion.
