On Tuesday, 3 April, 2001, Year 6C from Rochedale State School. embarked on a journey to Underwater World at Mooloolaba. This excursion was the conclusion of our Marine Studies Unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The children learnt about many of the marine classifications and were able to see them first hand. We saw everything from giant crabs, lion fish and sea dragons, to baby turtles, otters and crocodiles.
   
   
   

The children really enjoyed their walk through the tunnel which put them right amongst the sharks and giant gropers. The tunnel demonstrated to the children how sea creatures live and survive in their 'life-like' habitat.
 

 

 

 

 

 Toward the end of the day, tired and full of new information, the students were able to touch some of the creatures we had learnt so much about. This, I feel was their favourite part of the day! All in all, the students and teachers of 6C had a great learning experience at Underwater World.
