Room 14's Trip to Island Bay Marine Education Centre

Last Friday the Junior Syndicate went on a trip to Island Bay Marine Education Centre. First we went into the aquarium and got to explore and touch the sea creatures. We really liked the cushion starfish and the sea cucumbers as they were really slimy. We then got the oppourtunity to feed the fish in the big fish tank with mussels.
