Exploration

This term, we are learning about explorers.  This week, room 28 has been learning all about scuba diving including why divers explore under the sea, what equipment they need to take and what challenges they face.  

We learnt that divers need to communicate using special sign language when they are under the sea.

We also learnt that divers need to learn how to use all of the scuba equipment correctly and how to read instruments like a compass so they don't get into dangerous situations.  Divers need to learn how to dive in a diving school.  

Divers explore under the sea for lots of different reasons.  Some divers explore to take photos or to just admire the beautiful animals and plant life, while others are scientists collecting information or making observations for research.  Some divers explore because they are searching for things like food, or even old ship wrecks or treasure.  

We will continue to learn about other places people explore and what challenges they face.
