Sea Week

This week is "Sea Week" across New Zealand. Seaweek is an annual event run by the NZ Association for Environmental Education that allows New Zealanders to come together and celebrate the sea. Since we live in Eastbourne, the sea is a big part of our daily life. It only seems right we celebrate Sea Week!




For maths we looked at scale drawings of different sea animals, then we used estimation skills to calculate how big these sea animals would be in real life. We then went outside and drew them! Did you know that some jellyfish can grow to be over 10 metres long?
