Sunrise Session
Find out how much you know about the ocean before you begin. This activity can be done in the days leading up to Ocean School, or first thing in the morning.
Habitat Chat
Ever lifted up a stone and seen a tiny crab scurry away? Or dug a hole in the sand and had a sand hopper spring into your lap? All sorts of creatures and critters live in habitats on the beach. And the more we know about them, the more we can do to keep them safe.

Life’s a beach.
Habitat Chat is an Explore activity, all about getting active and investigating critical issues. For a full Ocean School journey, we’d recommend doing a Connect exercise first, to help you feel closer to the sea and get things off to a chilled start. And then once you’ve done the Explore task, finishing with a Protect activity to put everything you’ve learned into action.

Food Chain Challenge
Look at the person on your left. Now at the person on your right. One of these people will try to eat you. But who? In these activities, you’re going to play the parts of different marine animals, and see who can eat their way to the top of the food chain.
Voice of the Ocean
If the ocean could speak, what would it say? Using everything you’ve learnt, seen, found and felt, you’re going to do something big and brave to make a noise for the ocean. What will you do?…
