Emperors' Visit to the National Oceanography Centre

Today the children visited the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in Southampton. The aim of the day was the learn more about climate change, global warming, our impact on the environment and oceans and what we can do to reduce our carbon footprints. 

 

During the morning we visited the aquarium, learning about the marine life in there, as well as, looking around the building to spot ways in which they reduce their carbon footprint. In the afternoon, we worked in teams to think of solutions practically and laterally about ways to reduce our carbon footprint. 

 

Next week the children will use what they learnt to design their own eco-schools in an exciting project which will be judged by the environment team at the NOC.
