World Ocean Day 2025

Our little Ladybirds and Butterflies group, (0-2years), have been looking at sea side story books, singing and exploring the 'ocean floor' sensory table.

Dragonflies have been meeting all kinds of creatures under the sea and explored the cool and calming ever changing textures of cornflour. With the use of story books, the children have been discussing what should and shouldn't be in the sea. They were tasked to see if there was any 'rubbish' in the water tray and they sorted them into recyclable materials.

Our Eco-Heroes have been learning about plastic pollution by watching a pre-recording of author Emily Hobson-Martin reading her book 'Otto's Ocean'. The children cheered as Otto saved each creature he met from the plastic pollution as he went on his travels. You can find Emily's book here: https://www.hildasplanet.co.uk/ Kindergarten children have also been using lots of story books to spark off conversations about conservation and plastic pollution. One little boy had returned from holiday to tell the group "there was a juice carton in the sea. It shouldn't be there!"
