Last Friday we went on our school trip to the Island Bay Marine Centre. We are studying The Wonder of Whales
this term and we learned that there are lots of whales in the Cook
Strait and off the east coast of the South Island as there is so much
food for them there.
We were met at the Centre by Jules who
took us to the aquarium and the touch-pool where we used our senses to
touch, smell and look at lots of different starfish, anemones, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and limpets. We also saw lots of marine animals in the tanks there, including lobsters, octopus, seahorses, and turtles.
After morning
tea we said goodbye and piled onto the bus again. Thanks to Jules and
all the parents who helped out- we had a fantastic time!
