The young learners of our school, grade  A, after studying in their Language Class about the dangers that the sea turtles Caretta Caretta come through,  visited the Rescue Centre in the sea front of Athens. There they saw  a team of volunteers taking care of the wounded turtles until they recover and return to the sea.

Some information about the sea turtle Caretta Caretta
Caretta Caretta nests in the Mediterranean Sea and some Greek islands, like Zakynthos, Crete,Kefalonia and on  the western coasts of Peloponnese. They get trapped in  the fishermen's nets quite often,they swallow plastic bags,the babies lose their way to the sea because of the lights from  the beach bars so their number decreases day by day. 
It was a good lesson for the 1st graders who saw those  huge sea animals unable to help themselves  without the care of the environmental team.They promised to keep them safe whenever they see one in the sea or on the beach.
When they came back to school they made their own sea turtles. Kikker helped them, too!
