Begs is a 9 metres long sperm whale who was born along the Azores archipelago.
She decided to embark on an exciting quest, hoping to inspire the people of Norway and Japan to stop whaling, by telling them about the Azorean success story.
During her trip, she will realise it’s impossible to separate the threats presented by commercial whaling from those of marine pollution.
The book Begs & Friends is a mini adventure in the Azorean Sea.
It is for pre-reading children and children in the initial reading phase (3 to 8 years old).
This story was introduced by an initial "blind game" to explore the topic, concerning shapes, types, and sizes of the chosen objects.
The author, Joana Ávila, came to our kindergarten and primary school to explain the story and to talk about the initiative of sustainable fashion related to plastic being taken out of the ocean.

Ocean's Party
Based on the fairy tale, Begs and Friends, the school has prepared an "Ocean Party" outside to get more recycling awareness near the ocean with parents and the community.
In the backyard garden, there were several fair stalls. Each with a specific task concerning recycling and ocean preservation.
