There’s such an abundance of opportunities to bring into the classroom with the topic of aquaculture – SESE in particular stands out for me. How aquaculture and the fishing industry has evolved over the years and how there is a big focus on sustainability across the industry today could be a lovely research topic for History. The geography of our coastlines and where the large scale fishing hubs are and how they differ from the small scale fishing villages would also be a nice topic to explore. The infrastructure needed to support the aquaculture industry, safety at sea, healthy eating & the different main types of fish and seafood that is caught would also offer robust learning experiences if children researched these in the class

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to get some of the local people working in the industry to come in and give first hand information to the children and even better if they are familiar people so they can relate it to their own lives instead of seeing it on a screen or hearing it from us teachers.
