On Tuesday the 27th of April, room 13 and 14 got on the bus and headed out to the Portobello aquarium. It was a long drive. Finally we reached the aquarium, we all scrambled out of the bus like a swarm of bees, and ran down the twisty concrete path to the marine aquarium doors.
We were all very excited, but we were inside now so we had to calm down and walk into the conference room. We sat down and had some of our morning tea.
After morning tea we split into 3 groups, my group went down to the fish and the baby sharks with the big squid above the tanks. In the big fish tank there was baby salmon, blue cod and the Pig fish that were disguised as rocks and they ate seaweed.
Then we moved on to the crab with the nets and comb. The crab had nets to scoop the food and used its comb to comb it out of the nets and put it in its mouth. It was like someone was brushing their hair.
Our station was the touch tank where we got to touch Starfish, Cancer Crabs, Sea snails and Sea Cucumber. The touch tank were like rock pools.
To conclude the visit we went up to the conference room and had a discussion on what we eat and what eats us. Then it it was time to go and we went out into the shop area that was when my eye caught the sharks jaw, it was huge Then we carried on running up the hill. The aquarium was really good and i'm glad my dad came too.
