Thursday 8th of August we all packed up our morning tea and wandered down to the beach to check out some of the wildlife in our backyard. The weather was looking pretty suspect at times but we decided we need to risk it to get the biscuit.
When we arrived we were given instructions on where to look around to make sure we were safe but also so that we can see a range of different sea creatures. The rock pools by the bluff were the main part we explored.
We hoped to find a plethora of different species but it was a lot harder than we had hoped! We did manage to see a few crabs and a whole lot of starfish. Watching the water come in and out of the rock pools gave us hope that we'd see a few fish floating around but it was not to be.
After a good search among the rocks we sat down for a bit of morning tea and a debrief on what we had seen. This was followed by a quick clean up of the beach (where we completely filled a rubbish bag with what we found), and then off for a class photo!
We had an awesome day out and managed to see a few of the creatures that we had learned about so far this term.
