P6 were very fortunate today to go to Queen's University Marine Laboratory department located here in Portaferry. The children spent the first half of the morning looking for and collecting a wide variety of sea creatures . The children found Butterfish, Rockfish, starfish and a variety of shore crabs. As we walked back up the beach the children collected litter to help clear the beach of unwanted rubbish.
The weather held and the children had a fantastic morning !
The children and staff of St. Mary's would like to extend our thanks again to the Queens staff who taught us many facts on the sea creatures we found.
