Goat Island 2012

Tuesday 6th March was a very exciting day for all the Year 5's at BBPS. Everyone gathered at school at 6.40am when it was still dark and boarded two buses heading for Goat Island Marine Reserve up north near Leigh. We have been studying all about marine reserves in class and their significance to marine life and the environment.
We all took part in a fun day full of activities, including a visit to Seafriends to watch movies and hear Floor Antoni talk to us about his 20 years work there and view his aquariums. The rocky shore study was very exciting being able to look for crabs, anemonies and the like and a few of us even got to hold a kina!
The highlight of the day would have to have been the snorkelling! We all looked like blue seals as we all took to the water to explore the underwater world.
Such a fun day and we all want to go back again!
