Into the Abyss

What is happening beneath the oceans?

This term our theme learning will be based upon answering the question: What is happening beneath the oceans? We launch our topic by taking a trip to The Deep to study the special ocean habitat known as coral reefs and explore the relationship between species that make the reef their home. We will learn about the different ocean zones and who they're home to as well as diving to the deepest part of the ocean: The Mariana Trench. In history this term, we will focus on the  development of plastic and trends of its use throughout the decades. We will learn about HMS Challenger and explore how oceanography has progressed throughout history as well as Jacques Cousteau.
