A very good morning to my mini conservationists.
Well done for all the amazing learning you have been doing so far this week. The world really will be a better place as you spread the message about how to care for it.
Your generation will be the ones who heal the world with your hands.
Today your story is with Miss Beattie who is reading Big Blue Whale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjS9AT2HrsQ&feature=youtu.be
I have attached a wordsearch which has been made by one of our Goldfinches. Thank you!
School Jobs:
English: Can you write a poem about our seas and oceans? Use the links on the Save Our Seas Home Learning page (attached) to help you.
Art: How about making a sea themed painting or drawing.
Or in Science: create your own ocean habitat or biome using a shoe box, models or play-doh to make sea creatures.
Remember there are lots of the resources attached to Monday's blog that you might not have looked at yet.
Have a super day, miss you all

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 One 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
