Can `children`s fictional adventures` and environmental education go together? When the author is the Weird Fish Lady – then the answer is a big … YES!
Children`s fictional adventures can effectively incorporate environmental education.
In the Lucy Morgan Adventure Series of books (written for 8 years to teenage) … the characters see marine animals are facing environmental challenges. The storyline makes the issues relatable and encourages empathy toward wildlife and nature.
‘These are books you can’t put down! If you like books with cliff-hangers everywhere – look no further.’ (Dylan, aged 10)

Activities and facts you say? The Lucy Morgan Adventure stories have got just that!🌊🐠😁

‘It’s an exciting book and it is also a great idea to add in the pictures and information at the back of the book about the sea creatures she [Lucy] dives with.’ – Dylan, age 10

Engaging with the educational aspects of the story is just as important as reading it through. Explore the Lucy’s underwater world in more vibrancy and detail by reading the facts at the back of the book, and head over to my website (www.barnettauthor.co.uk) to find more resources.

Happy reading!🏄‍♀️

As we head into the National Year of Reading, and amidst a reading crisis for children in the UK, truly engaging with books has never been more important.

Something that can help both children and adults read and learn better is engaging with activities and games at the end of the story📚

With books like the Lucy Morgan Adventure series and the Fishy Tales storybooks, the fun doesn’t end when the story does – flick to the back of the book to read fun ocean facts, find school learning resources, and so much more!🤩🐠🐬🌊

HOW will these resources help our children?

By introducing ocean education early and developing it progressively throughout primary school, we can help children understand the vital role oceans play in maintaining the planet’s health. Students will build a deep understanding of why oceans matter—knowledge that is increasingly crucial in the context of climate change.

Your students will become informed advocates, ready to participate in meaningful discussions and take action to help protect the future of our planet.

WHY should we teach primary school children about the oceans?
Oceans cover 70% of our planet — Oceans supply 80% of the oxygen we breathe — Oceans are essential to all life on Earth.
… Yet their importance is rarely explored with young children….. I invite you to
empower your students to become informed ocean advocates, ready to engage in conversations and actions that protect our planet’s future.
When? How?
Just one fun, special day each term — for every year group in your primary school.
