Today’s theme for the Aquarium March Break Program is fabulous fish. I had lots of fun this morning with the students observing the sturgeon, skates, and halibut in the Bay of Fundy fishes tank, making glow-in-the-dark deep sea fish, and playing sharks and herring. We also listened to a presentation by Joe Pratt who is doing his master’s on sharks. He showed us some shark jaws, basking shark gill rakers and a huge tooth from the extinct megalodon shark. I am sure that the students will have fun the rest of the day as they learn about fish communication by drumming with Jim.
Sound like fun? There are still a few spots available for grade 3-6 students for the remaining days of the program. For more information visit the website, www.huntsmanmarine.ca or call (506) 529-1200.
If you child can’t make the March Break Program don’t worry, the aquarium is open to the public from 10am to 5pm during March Break.
