Dress up in blue on June 8th to celebrate World Ocean Day for Schools!
FLOODING THE CURRICULUM
World Ocean Day for Schools is a free digital platform that curates the most engaging and thought provoking ocean related learning resources for educators. This platform is designed to act as a catalyst to a richer connection with the ocean in a way that complements existing school curriculum. These explorations into all of our water systems culminate with a global celebration in June in conjunction with World Ocean Day every year.
UNDERSTANDING OF THE OCEAN’S INFLUENCE ON YOU AND YOUR INFLUENCE ON THE OCEAN.
Now entering its third year World Ocean Day for Schools was created with the belief that there has been no better time to get kids passionate about the ocean, understanding our relationship with it and how we can take collective action, not just on World Ocean Day, but all year round. Each child will journey starting with understanding the importance of the ocean to humankind, can then talk about the ocean in a meaningful way and are then able to make informed and responsible decisions regarding the ocean and it’s resources.
The ocean is a breathtaking, complicated and magical place and we aim to reflect in that in content curated by WOD for Schools. Learning about the ocean should be fun, engaging and experimental. – retrieved from World Ocean Day For Schools
