World Oceans Day



Today is World Oceans Day.  This is important to Room 20 because this year, we are working with Room 22 and Camp MERC to educate people about the effect of rubbish on marine life.  For our Enterprise Inquiry, we are in the process of designing an activity that could be built into MERC's programme to help visitors appreciate the magnificent marine reserve at their doorstep.

Earlier this year we visited MERC for our Year 6 camp.  It was an amazing experience where we all learnt a lot about overcoming challenges and teamwork.  While we were there we heard about a place called Midway Island where there are some horrendous things happening as a direct results of humans dropping litter.  Watch this video and see for yourself:



Incredible isn't it?  We are looking forward to doing what we can to make a difference.
