PRIMARY school children in Lancashire are set to have a whale of time with a new school project in October.
Marine conservation charity ORCA is launching its first ever Whale Education Month to coincide with World Animal Day on the October 4.
The new marine conservation scheme aims to inspire pupils about the wonders of whales and dolphins and has produced free resources for teachers to help them inspire the next generation of marine biologists.
The teacher’s pack includes interactive presentations, activities and games to inspire students about the creatures that live in the oceans and ways that they can be protected.
Anna Bunney, ORCA Education Coordinator, said: "With these new education packs, we are reaching a whole new group of children and inspiring students all around the country about how they can help protect whales and dolphins for the future.
"Hopefully these materials will inspire a whole new generation of marine biologists."
