Learning about Sharks

Did you know that there are 217 species of sharks and only 5 species are known to attack humans?

Or that while millions of people die in car accidents each year, on average only 5 people die from shark attacks?

These are just a few of the interesting facts that the Oceans Unlimited Team shared with us in their shark presentation this week. They explained that our fear of sharks is often blown out of proportion, and that we need to protect sharks as they are valuable part of the ocean's ecosystem.

The finished posters- they turned out great!

Thanks Oceans Unlimited for coming to share with our class!
