Thanks to the support of players of People’s Postcode Lottery and UBS, pupils from Oare and Great Bedwyn Schools had an incredible opportunity to attend a Future Generations cinema showing of ‘Ocean’ by Sir David Attenborough before it opened at cinemas around the world on 8 May. The ocean conservation charity Blue Marine Foundation provided free tickets for pupils aged 8 to 14, giving them the chance to watch the stunning new film on the big screen.
Sir David, who is 99 today, believes the film could help to inform biodiversity and how to protect the planet from climate change. The film reveals how the world’s oceans have changed and how our understanding of their function has changed during Sir David’s lifetime. Sir David believes the world’s oceans are at a crossroads.
Michelle Perrett, Executive Principal of Oare and Great Bedwyn Schools said, “The children were amazed by the powerful ocean scenes and learned just how important the ocean is, the threats it faces, and how they can play a part in protecting it. It was a truly memorable day that left many feeling inspired to raise their voices and take small steps toward making a difference.”
