Our Year 3s recently participated in an Ocean Life Education incursion where they interacted with live marine animals including an Epaulette Shark and a variety of different Sea Stars, Sea Urchins and Sea Cucumbers. The students also engaged with fascinating marine artefacts such as shark jaws and ocean shells.
Throughout the day, each Year 3 class visited the Makerspace in the Centre for Learning and Innovation where the Marine Educators from Ocean Life Education were equipped with a range of marine animals, artefacts, games and information available to support the students' learning.
The students left the incursion with a greater understanding and appreciation of ocean life and the importance of protecting our marine ecosystem.
