Glenburnie School

Students from Glenburnie School arrived Monday afternoon and have been busy ever since. On Monday the students explored the intertidal zone at Indian Point. Tuesday called for a rotating schedule of a trip on the boat to collect plankton, a lab using the plankton collected and a tour of the Fundy Discovery Centre.  Then in the afternoon they took part in a scavenger hunt around the aquarium and residence buildings.  This morning students boarded the Quoddy Link to go in search of whales and other wildlife. Although no whales were spotted, we did see Harbour Seals, Cormorants, Bald Eagles and a number of other bird species.

After a long day of travel, students were eager to stretch their legs.

The tide was coming in fast.

A few students ended up with wet feet as the tide came in quicker than they did.
