A Suma- Week Six

on

It has been two weeks since the Fiery Foxes began their count down...
Finally, the day arrived!
Our first Grade Three Field Trip for the year!
Everyone woke up excited and ready for the day ahead.
Arriving at school with a different attire, they prepped themselves for the rainy weather, umbrellas, raincoats, and gumboots (rainboots) for all. 
9 o'clock struck and off we go, pairing up, through the door. 

The sweetest sight to see was doing a headcount, as in, counting the umbrellas of my beautiful grade threes. 

We caught the train and walked the rest of the way to arrive at our destination.

SUMA AQUALIFE

Let the fun begin!






The Grade Threes were interested in the different sea and freshwater creatures in the tanks, and respected them by keeping in mind that these various creatures were taken from their own habitats (community) and placed in a new one for us to learn about and because of this we are able to develop our knowledgeable skills further. 









Snack/lunch time break- Here we see very hungry little foxes. 

Last, but not least, their most favourite part of the trip...The petting zone, also known as, the interaction area.
This is where a lot of teamwork and encouragement took place amongst the children. Some children were very reluctant to touch the shark or allow the Red Garra to clean off their dead skin cells, but with the encouragement of another friend and school mate, all the students interacted with the different creatures and reaped the rewards of  challenging their uncertainty and experiencing something different and new.



It was time to head back to school, but before being greeted by our loving parents, we stopped off at the Kobe Fashion Museum and bounced off the remaining energy from our trip. 

What a fun and successful day it was!
A very BIG thank you to one of our mom's for accompanying myself and the Grade 3's on our trip.
