Glenburnie School 2018

On campus this week we had Grade 8 students from Glenburnie School in Oakville, Ontario. The students had a full week exploring marine biology, art and history around St. Andrews, New Brunswick.

Touring the Fundy Discovery Aquarium.

Learning to use microscopes while viewing plankton. 

Viewing fresh plankton from the bay at 40x magnification.

The students made beautiful screen print t-shirts.

Exploring the beach at Seeleys Cove.

Making sculptures with found objects. 

The students also had to name and explain their sculptures.

We removed and properly disposed of all the marine debris collected.

Heading out whale watching with Quoddy Link Marine.

Stopping to see the grey and harbour seals.

Lounging at low tide.

It's lobster season so there were lots of boats out checking their traps.

Viewing the kittiwake nests at White Horse Island.
