Aotearoa's summertime Seaweek is a celebration of our beautiful deep-blue oceans and all of the precious marine life in it, with lots of learning around environmental sustainability.

Kidsfirst Beckenham Beckenham received 1^st and 2^nd prize for their ocean-inspired acrostic poem plus art work entry created as part of their Seaweek celebrations.

“Tamariki drew their inspiration from their summer holiday experiences at the beach, their prior knowledge about the ocean and research from scientific books about the sea,” says Head Teacher, Jill Peters.

“What a fantastic surprise to take out both 1^st and 2^nd place.”
