This morning we welcomed to the aquarium the Kindergarten through Grade 3 students from Eastport Elementary. Upon arrival the students watched Snorkel and Loki eat their herring breakfast and then had a tour of the aquarium with Janie. After having fun and getting wet touching all of the animals in the touch pool the students joined Meagan and I in the lab to learn about harbour seals. The students acted out being mother and pup seals listening for each other on the beach, mimicked the actions of seals in the wild, and made a harbour seal life cycle sheet. We even tried to imitate the sheep-like sound that a harbour seal pup makes but wow that is a hard sound to make!
Thank you to the great students, teachers and parents of Eastport Elementary for your visit!
Super Snorkel!
