As it was World Oceans Day on 8 June we had a special assembly about how the world's oceans play a key role for life on Earth.

In the past few decades, the threats from pollution, overfishing and other forms of exploitation to marine habitats have increased dramatically and the children increased their appreciation of the one of our most important resource which we sometimes take for granted.
