Definition: A chain or range of rocks, sand, or coral lying at or near the surface of the water.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look,
At this word “reef,” a fascinating hook!
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
"A chain or range, for me and you!"
Think about the ocean, deep and blue,
Where colorful creatures swim through.
A
reef
isn't just one single stone,
It’s built of rocks, a lovely zone!
Sometimes it’s sand, so soft and white,
And often coral, shining bright!
They lie close to the water’s face,
A hidden wonder, a beautiful space.
So remember this, my clever crew,
A reef is built of things brand new –
Rocks, sand, and coral, you see,
Lying near the ocean, wild and free! 😊
