WHY Should We Teach Primary School Children About Oceans?
Oceans are essential to the survival of life on Earth … yet their significance is rarely discussed with young children.
Let’s change that!
By introducing ocean education early and continuing it gradually throughout primary school, we can help children understand the vital role oceans play in maintaining the planet’s health.
I’m recommending that your school has a special fun ‘Ocean Adventure’ day (or just a half-day) once every term.
By the time your students complete primary school education they will have developed a deep understanding of the importance of oceans … a knowledge increasingly crucial in the context of climate change.
They will become informed advocates, ready to participate in discussions and actions that promote the future of our planet, all by dedicating just one half-day or full day of “ocean learning” each term.
