Social Studies lesson at the Beach !

In Social Studies we are studying the natural vegetation of Cayman. This lesson was on the beach, so we decided to go to Smith Cove to complete the lesson. We discussed the natural and man-made elements of the beach, any threats to the beach and what we can do to protect it.

After the lesson we did a quick beach clean up 🙂
