We began by learning about the oceans, what they are called and how there are many ways of naming oceans. They could be sea, bays, gulfs and bights to name a few. Our writing reflected the beauty of the oceans but also revealed how they are damaged by human and natural disasters,

Having learnt about the gyres and ocean currents, we understood a little more of how water moves across the globe and also moves plastic and microplastics. Did you know that every beach in the world has evidence/presence of microplastics?  We conducted our own strandline surveys.

The final element of this unit involved creating a trip to experience our beautiful seas but also to experience the great plastic garbage patches, complete a strandline survey in the eastern Asia archipelagoes and, of course, enjoy water-based activities. here are some snippets of our travel brochures.
