Looking Beneath the Surface...

On Wednesday last week Jessie and Carly from the National Aquarium came to talk to us about Seaweek. We went on an undersea journey. We all had to put on flippers and wetsuits so we could 'look beneath the surface'. We saw some really interesting artefacts from under the sea and learned that as well as amazing sea creatures, sadly there is a lot of rubbish in our seas.
We are going to look at how it gets there because we all know its there because of US!
Team Tekau are starting to think about...
* What we can do to stop rubbish from spoiling the sea
* How do sea animals adapt to their environment
* How can we keep safe when we visit the beach

Yuk! This is not how we want our seas to look!

Did you know toothpaste has seaweed in it? 

Fletcher has a new set of jaws - shark jaws!

This is a piece of baleen from a humpback whale.
Look at the little hairs on it.
