ABOUT GREAT WHITE SHARKS

Out of 400 species of sharks in the world, around 170 can be found just in the waters off Australia. One of these species is the GREAT WHITE SHARK. Great white sharks are known for their large size. They can actually be found in the coastal waters of all major oceans and can live as long as 70 years. They eat a variety of fish and other marine animals and birds. Did you know that they have rows of teeth behind their main ones to replace any that might break off? While they may seem scary, their species has actually faced many challenges and is protected in Australia among other places.

The children used a range of painting techniques to create their ‘watery’ shark scene.

ABOUT VOLCANOS IN HAWAII

 The islands of HAWAII were formed by volcanoes erupting in the ocean. The eruptions cooled and formed the land. Most Hawaiian volcanoes are now inactive, though there are still three active volcanoes on the islands which are constantly being watched to make sure the people of Hawaii stay safe. 

The children created their volcanic scene using chalk and oil pastels.  They finished by decorating their picture with brightly coloured Hawaiian flowers.
