Department of Fisheries Excursion
Report by Ansh
On Wednesday 13th June, Room 8 and Room 12 went on an excursion to the Fisheries Department at Hillarys Boat Harbour. The weather was gloomy and bleak. We could sit with our friends on the bus and it took almost an hour to get there.

When we arrived, Hillarys looked beautiful. The beach was wavy and the Fisheries Department looked glamorous. We were very keen to learn about fish adaptations.

Some of us had morning tea outside on a rusty bench. Our two Fisheries teachers were hilarious Michael and smart Linda. Room 8 walked with Michael to Hillarys Beach where we collected seaweed and other interesting things. There were certain parts of the shore we couldn’t go to and Michael rubbed some disgusting wet seaweed into his face! We collected a variety of interesting things and then put them into different categories.

Both classes had lunch together at the park and stayed within the tree boundaries. We played joyfully with our friends. After lunch, Room 8 visited the Learning Lab with Linda. We looked at how five different types of fish have adapted to their environment and categorised them by examining their colour, scales, tail and shape.

Lots of people were sleeping on the way back to school even though it was a bumpy bus ride. The Fisheries Department important motto we learnt was “Fish for the future”.

Room 8 would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Esslemont, Mr Gulikers and Mrs Stanley who helped on our excursion.
