This morning we had 23 excited students take part in our shark mini-course at the aquarium. The group had lots of fun playing sharks and herring, studying the skates (shark cousins), making shark fin bookmarks (we discovered two new species, bumblebee and ladybug sharks!), having a very stinky show and tell with real shark jaws, teeth, skin and fins, and measuring the sizes of some Bay of Fundy sharks (wow, the basking shark just barely fit in the boardroom!). It was a great way to spend a rainy morning.
For the next two Wednesdays, August 8 and 15 we will be offering the Whale and Seal mini-course. For more information or to register your child call (506) 529-1200 or email huntsman@huntsmanmarine.ca.
