Coral Ecosystem
Coral Ecosystem
CENTRAL IDEA
Human activities impact coral reefs and lead to the extinction of marine life.
Introduction:
Hello everyone, we are Meghan, Tehreem, Heshva and Arpit along with Miss Carole our dedicated mentor. We Are Group 1 Coral Ecosystem. We chose to work on the Coral Ecosystem because we wanted to know more about coral reefs and coral preservation. We think ocean life is very important because humans depend on ocean life. We also wanted to show young people and adults that coral ecosystems are important to human life. If we don’t have any coral reefs, big waves will start to destroy our land by eroding our beaches and could make people suffer. People do not realise how sea creatures and ocean life are important to human life. That is why today we are going to share our findings with you and show you how important ocean life is.
Coral protection (Connection)

Protection of coral reefs (Responsibility)
Key concept questions:
1. Form - What is a coral reefs?
2. Function - How does coral reefs protect us from giant waves?
3. Causation - How are coral reefs created?
4. Change - How are coral reefs changing over time?
5. Connection – How do coral reefs protect us?
6. Perspective – How do people see coral reefs?
7. Responsibility – What are our responsibilities?
For our action component we decided to share book marks with year 4 and show them a video that will make them be aware of coral reefs.

Mon récif corailen
Récif, tu nous protèges,
Émouvant et magnifique.
Comme un monument, tu as survécu pendant des siècles
Invincible et tranquille
Fort, tel un géant marin.
Coralien tu es si joli,
Oh! J’espère que tu ne nous quitteras jamais,
Ravissant comme tout,
Attirantes sont tes couleurs,
Les poissons t’aiment beaucoup,
Ils nagent librement autour de toi
Entre nous deux, c’est toi le meilleur,
Nous faisons la promesse de toujours te préservert.

Corals are dying,

We must protect them,
We do hurt the corals but now we should protect the corals

If we don’t protect the coral, our life is at risk,
Your not the only one,

Ocean fish,
Hungry fish,
Fish are afraid of us,
Take their fear away,

We do hurt the corals but now we should protect the corals,
It doesn’t hurt to try,
