SAVE OUR SEAS

Listen to Big Blue Whale with Miss Beattie today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjS9AT2HrsQ&feature=youtu.be

I hope that you are all still smiling and staying a safe as possible. Have you all been enjoying the Save Our Seas project this week? It has been lovely to hear and see some of the work that you have been producing on this subject.

English

For today’s lesson before completing your learning on Save Our Seas. Please have a look at the following lesson on BBC Bitesize that focuses on creating characters. You are very good at this as we have done lots during this academic year and your previous year. We have created ‘Role on the wall’ which is where you write everything about the character you are creating. You can see an image of what this looks like below to help you to remember. Inside we usually wrote how the character feels and their character traits and around we wrote what the character does and looks like.

Today, Mrs Ahern would like to read you a story called ‘The Everywhere Bear’. To listen please click on the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Lm3RA0pFg

Message from Mrs Powell:

Georgia’s Story

Georgie is 21. She’s a scuba diver and underwater photographer.

Introduced to fishing by her dad, Georgie made her hobby into a career when she followed her obsession with the ocean all the way to the sea bed.

Georgie’s dad is a keen pike fisherman and introduced her to wildlife conservation at a young age. As she grew up she became more and more fascinated with the ocean.

Wanting to improve her diving and marine identification skills, Georgie joined a project called Seasearch which encourages divers and snorkelers to record the marine life they see during their underwater adventures. Their findings are used by the Marine Conservation Society to make important management decisions.

The ocean covers around 71% of the world’s surface, so knowing what’s going on beneath the waves is just as important as knowing what’s going on above ground. And that’s where marine conservationists come in.

Marine conservationists play a crucial role in keeping our oceans healthy. Through monitoring marine life and underwater ecosystems, they can help us make better environmental choices. They can highlight the impact of plastics on the ocean, for instance, or identify which beaches are and aren’t safe to swim at.

Their findings can help protect endangered species or habitats.

How could you help our oceans?  Could this be your job?  What could you do now?  How could you make a change?

Prayer
Thank you, Lord, that you created such a beautiful place for us to live.
We pray, Lord, that we may live out
the trust you put in us to look after your world for you.
Help us to love and care for those around us
both near and distant.
Amen

Take care everyone and keep smiling!

Miss Thwaites and Mrs Hulse x
