National Marine Park Plymouth

Today, we received a visit from Nick, a Coastal Ranger for the National Marine Park, Plymouth.  They learned all about the work that Rangers do and the fascinating creatures that live in our waters.  Did you know that Plymouth is the UK's first and only National Marine Park?  

The children also learned about how the tide is controlled by the moon and the sun.  They now know that the safest time to swim is at either high or low tide, with the next safest as the tide is coming in.

All the children learned how to be safe and have fun near water remembering four simple rules:

1. Stop and think

2. Stay together.

3. Float

4. Call 999 or 112

They all thoroughly enjoyed Nick's assembly.
