# Reception- Geography- Rockpool Habitat

This week in Geography, our Reception explorers have been diving deep into the seaside as we learned all about the wonders of rockpools! The children absolutely loved using our interactive board to virtually splash around and explore these miniature marine ecosystems. Through an engaging interactive game, they took turns dragging and dropping labels to identify a rockpool and name the fascinating creatures and plants you might find hidden inside it. It was fantastic to hear their excitement as they discovered anemones, crabs, and starfish, all while developing their vocabulary and digital skills!
