Sea Week

Think about explorers - what dispositions do you think they have or need? 

 This week we looked at ocean explorers as it was sea week. The kids arrived to a classroom that was transformed into an underwater land to work in. 

We learnt about ocean explorers like Jaques Cousteau, Sylvia Earle, and of course NZ's own 'Young Ocean Explorers' - Steve and Riley Hathaway. 

 We looked at strengths of explorers - having passion, skill, courage, resilience, patience; being problem-solvers, inventive, resourceful. 🐟🐠🐳🐋🦈🦑🦐🦀
