Acorn Class Trip To Weston Super Mare

At the aquarium we had a really interesting talk on sea creatures and rock pools. Rachel, our guide told us how impressed she was because we had waited so quietly until it was our turn for the talk.

We handled sharks eggs also known as mermaid’s purses. They felt hard and very tough. Rachel explained that if you find one on the beach you can check to see if there is a baby shark inside by holding it up to the light.

We also touched a real, live anemone. It felt like jelly! Some anemones can sting so you have to make sure you know which ones are safe to touch

Even the grownups had a go.

After the talk we all explored the exhibits.

A ray popped up to say hello to Fred

We were all absolutely starving so we moved onto the beach for our picnic lunch.

Then the games began!

Creating a new pier out of sandcastles

Lydia running rings round mum with the ball! (This involved much giggling!)

Josh G and Bruno’s new method of playing cricket

Mrs Callow demonstrating one of her many talents! (she packed her football boots especially!)

The wind took the Frisbees almost into orbit.

Josh W couldn’t resist a bit of a dance to the music! Great moves Josh. Wishing we had more time to spend on the beach we packed away the games and headed off to the pier.

Into the bright lights and glitter of the amusement arcade

Finally time to head back to the coach, all still smiling after a brilliant day.
