Cable Bay Trip

This album is powered by BubbleShare - Add to my blog

On Monday 14th May Room 13 and Room 8 headed off to Cable Bay to explore the rock pools. This was a follow up activity to the Rocky Shore learning we did in Term 1, and it was a long time coming – we had to wait for a good low tide at the right time of day. It was definitely worth the wait as we all had a fantastic day. The weather was lovely, the water was clear and everybody was incredibly well behaved. We saw so many interesting sea creatures, it was amazing. Have a look at the photos and see how many things you can name. If you look closely you might see some of the following:
• crab
• sea anemone
• wandering sea anemone
• cushion starfish
• brittle starfish
• hermit crab
• chiton
• cats eye
• limpet

We had such a good time that we would like to go back again. A big thanks to all the parents who made this trip worthwhile!

The cable bay trip looked like it was a lot of fun - a picnic on the beach and exploring all during a school day - fantastic! It's great being able to see what you did on your trip.
I also liked your slide show for the Tivaevae exhibition at the Suter - what beautiful colours are in the cushions you were lying on and in the tivaevae you made.
