Sir James Dunn Academy – Ocean Discovery

Today on campus we had grade 6 students from Sir James Dunn Academy taking part in the Ocean Discovery Program.  We had lots of fun viewing plankton with the microscopes, having snack with the seals, observing marine invertebrates, such as scallops and rock crabs, learning about lobsters, having lunch around the touch tank, conducting experiments with echinoderms, and exploring the beach.  It was a great day with some fantastic local students!
