During the day, students participated in two interactive workshops led by the aquarium’s education team. These sessions focused on climate change and sustainability, key themes within the current Geography topic and the wider KS3 curriculum. Students also had the opportunity to explore the aquarium and observe a wide range of marine life, helping to deepen their understanding of ocean environments.

I loved seeing all the different sea creatures and learning how we can protect the oceans in the future.”

The trip proved to be an engaging and memorable experience, enriching students’ learning and encouraging them to think more critically about the future of our oceans.
