Sealife

On Friday 4th May we brought our theme of "water" to life and took a school trip to Bray to visit Sealife. What an amazing day we had! We headed out on our adventure on the DART and saw all the sights of Killiney, Dun Laoghaire and even caught a glimpse of the Aviva Stadium along the way. Read some of our diary entries below on how our day went and what we learned:

"We saw sting rays. Some were small but others were huge. I found out that when you create static electricity with your hands they come to you...We even got to touch a starfish. Their skin was hard and the underneath was slimey!"
Mateusz Galinski

"In the first tank  there were loads of different fish. There were baby sharks, starfish and loads more! I thought the sharks would eat the baby fish but they don't because they get fed everyday...the rays even come up to the surface when you rub your hands together."
Shane O'Neill Rooney

"Sealife  was very exciting because I was never at an aquarium before...We found out a lot of facts there like a seahorse can have a baby but the male carries it around not the female.Some fish can even change their gender to repopulate."
Jade Donnery

"Some of the fish can change from male to female in order to give birth!!! And guess what?? The seahorse males give birth!! One octopus  was five years old which was really old for an octopus and he plays hide and seek as well!!"
