Ocean Curriculum
We believe we should look after our Oceans and be custodians of our planet. With rising concern amongst children and adults about climate change, over-fishing, and the abundance of plastics in our seas, we believe we should learn how to connect children with the ocean. We are lucky enough to be part of Connect Academy Trust which has put together The Ocean Conservation Curriculum to teach children about issues facing our Oceans. In Connect Academy Trust, we are a collection of eight coastal schools, so being concerned and educating about the conservation of our oceans is of relevant importance.
We believe all children have the right to learn about the importance of the ocean, and to develop a sense of responsibility towards its conservation. The Ocean Conservation Curriculum is an exciting innovation, whereby the Trust has worked with its partners to create a scheme of work to study comprehensive and progressive objectives related to the seven global Ocean Literacy Principles.
At Preston, we weave the Ocean Conservation Curriculum though our science and geography curriculum and make other cross-curricular links. Our children enjoy exciting and informative activities, both in school and beyond, which greatly enhances their overall curriculum.
