On a beautiful autumn day we drove down to Woodbridge to participate in learning activities to help us understand how marine creatures are adapted to their environment.

Here are some photos taken on the day and some comments made by our 5/6 students.

"My best part was learning about the sea urchin. I did not know that sea urchins had a lot of legs. It was amazing learning about sea creatures." Xavia.

"My favourite part was feeding the sharks and the fish. It was a fun time where we did lots of fun things like feeding the fish. We all fed the fish and we got some weird food to feed the fish.  Some fish were hungry and happy to be fed and we were happy to feed them."  Scarlett     

"My personal favourite part was when we got to feed the fish. My favourite fish to feed was the puffer fish my favourite part of the rotational part was the oculus headset." Marcus

"The coolest thing about the marine discovery centre was we got to pat the shark and look at the fish but my favourite thing about it would be feeding the sharks and fish it was so fun when the fish and sharks kept on splashing us." Maddie :)

"My favourite thing was  the touch room because we can pick up all of the sea creatures and I like to touch the skate and the sharks also the head set and all the activities." Jaylah

"My favourite was the shark. It was so cool! I loved the touching tank where there were lots of hermit crabs." Gracie-Kaye

"Yesterday we went on a trip to the Marine Discovery Centre. We had lots of fun patting the stingray." Allie.

"At the marine centre patting the skate was very fun because it was slimy on the side and it would always come to people plus it stayed very still like it was taught not to move when humans or even other creatures and feeding it was a joyful moment of how it eats. Even if I didn’t touch the shark as much as the skate I still enjoyed being their with my friends, it was really good experience for my learning. It was my favourite thing I have done for my school work." Zavier.

Here is some bio-luminiscent artwork by out Grade 5/6 students.  They look amazing.
