The children recapped which is the largest and smallest, along with which is closest to us! We then discussed many ways that our oceans are used and why this makes the oceans important. Considering how humans use the oceans, the children then learned the difference between ‘import’ and ‘export’ and used atlases to map the Australian trade routes.
