Amazing day at Ripley's Aquarium!

The Grade 1 French Immersion classes enjoyed a spectacular day at Ripley's Aquarium on March 9th.
As we arrived, we entered the ocean realm and came face to face with thousands of fascinating fish and sea creatures; everything from jellyfish, sharks, sting rays, giant lobsters, crabs, barracudas, eels, and much more!
Then, we traveled through a giant moving shark and aquatic species tank. A few children were up for a friendly scare from scuba divers during the Dive Show.
Finally, we participated in a workshop and learned about the characteristics of an ideal fish habitat (quite similar to a human habitat).
As a souvenir, we made our own aquarium through an arts and craft activity to remember our role in keeping the fish environment just as clean, if not cleaner than our environment.

A big thank you to the wonderful parent volunteers who came along. Your help was much appreciated!













 








As a student nicely put it, "The trip was a great treat for the end of winter!".
