We
had a lot of fun with the students that attend the last Young Explorers program
for the summer. This morning we painted
some treasure boxes and then headed to the beach for an intertidal scavenger
hunt. The students were allowed to keep
a couple of shells and rocks to put in their treasure boxes to take home. After lunch we played shark and herring, made
a Popping Porpoise craft, played a game about overfishing (then got to eat the
gummy fish!), painted patterns on humpback whale tails, and did an aquarium
scavenger hunt. Also, the students got
to spend some time exploring the animals that live in the touch pool and the
skate tank.
Below
are a some pictures from our fun day.

Why do porpoises come to the surface?
Each humpback has a unique pattern on their tail.
