We saw crustaceans (animals with crusty outsides and jointed legs)

We saw molluscs. They have a shell and ONE big sucker foot.

| The yellow team classified the cats eye snail as a mollusc pretty quickly. Here you can see Tigue, Luke & Isaac thinking really hard about this tricky animal. It was a mollusc but the hard shell was hidden under a soft black coat. Tricky indeed! |

| Charlotte, Caleb, Kahnye & Josh are inspecting the underside of a sea star to check out the tiny feeding tubes. |

| Dakota (& Maka from Room 3) have a close look at the sea star's belly. |
The touch tanks were very, very cool. Here are a lot of very interested, potential marine scientists checking out the array of creatures.

| Check out the GIANT sea star! |
Come back and have another peek at the blog in a couple of days. The authors in Room 4 have written some awesome aquarium stories.
Speaking of stars. Here's the new Star of the Week.

Wow! Room 4 will be experts at our Rocky Shore Day next week. You'll be able to look for all those creatures that you learnt about at the aquarium.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the photos of your visit, you all look like scientists.
Looking forward to the Cross Country tomorrow. You can all feel very proud of yourselves for doing your best. I think when I was in Room 4 today, you all sounded like you are really enjoying running and I think everyone thought they had got better at it over the last few weeks.
Hope the weather is good for us!
