Ocean day 🐠🐙🐬🐳🐋

This week we have been learning about the ocean and how we can do our part in the environment to contribute to ‘Revitalization’ 🌎

The children have engaged in sensory and imaginary play while also having group discussions and reading.

Many questions and curiosity came from these experiences and by spreading awareness to the children about the impact humans have on our oceans and marine life, they will have all the tools they need to become environmentally responsible adults 🧡

Learning Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world

2.4 Children become socially responsible and show respect for the environment.
