An awesome day at Island Bay

Today we went to visit the Island Bay Marine Laboratory.  It was fabulous.  Judy and Viktor had the most fntastic hat collection for the teachers and parents.

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.
