We read the wonderful One Fish, Two Fish, Red fish, Blue Fish by Dr Suess and then used an art lesson from http://www.deepspacesparkle.com/ to paint our fantastic fish.

We hope you enjoy looking at them.

Aren’t they just fabulous!  The super sixes hope you love them as much as Mrs Christenson does.

Once they were all dressed u we were ready to explore the rocky shore.  We went out on the rocks with nets and buckets to see what we could find.  We were pretty fantastic marine biologists.

We found seaweed, crabs, jellyfish, bullies, limpets, chitons, catseyes and whelks.  Then Viktor taught us how to hold a crab without getting nipped.  Some of us were a little scared but we soon found our brave faces and had a turn.
