Snorkelling Outdoor Education

Hooray today's the day what day is it? Monday, this is when rooms 13,14 and 15 come together and go snorkelling at Reotahi Bay. Nearly every single parent offered to help with the transport. So when we got there everybody was zooming faster then the speed of light onto the wavy grass.
Then the lady in charge came over to tell us the rules. 1 of the rules was don't
Litter on the Marine Reserve, the second rule was do not wave at a person because in sign language it is danger or help, the third rule is always listen to
The instructors because you might miss out something important. Before we left school we all got split into five groups then the 1st group got into their
wetsuits and the snorkelling gear Then they walked down a steep hill and onto the boiling hot sand. Splash splash splash in they went with their supervisors tagging along with them. We both saw Grey Mullet,seahorse and a big snapper. When we were not in the water we did a little work sheet and a scavenger hunt. The importance of Marine Reserves are that you cannot fish there so that fish are sustained for future generations. Also everyone can see sea life in their natural environment and learn about them.
