Science Week in Prep
National Science Week was a big event
this year in Prep.
The theme for 2020 was
‘Deep Blue: Innovation for the Future of
our Oceans’. Science Week gives us the
opportunity to increase our engagement
and understanding of ocean science. We
live on
an island
and our oceans are ever
present around us. Australia’s
vast oceans are a source of
constant fascination for our
students and it was absolutely
wonderful to learn more
about the importance of
our oceans and the amazing
animals that live there.
Our
Preps had opportunities to ask
questions and watch various
media about our oceans.
They had some wonderful
ideas and enjoyed talking
about the importance of the
environment. Preserving and
protecting our oceans and
looking after our animals is an
area that children and young
people are very passionate
about and it was fantastic to
encourage this. We focused
on how we can protect our
oceans, through being responsible with our litter and not taking
more fish than we need. We also looked at the importance of
the creatures that live
under the sea. We
learnt about coral,
turtles, jellyfish and
octopus and displayed
our understanding
through making
posters and models
of these animals.
As you can see the
students produced
some absolutely
beautiful work.
We
thoroughly enjoyed
Science Week and we
look forward to next
year.
