It seems that there is a lag before realizing your body get tired! This morning, it took a bit more time for the crew to wake up: Eilidh had bag eye symptoms, Jacqueline felt down every time as usual but started to hit her head, Joannie kept her pyjama for the first time, Rob needed a shower to open the eyes as well as Duncan who moreover let loose to the discipline! We do not want you to think we stayed lazy the whole day! As soon as the sun kissed our cheeks, we turned out happy, alive and ready to settle the education activities! Lucky us with Mother Nature this week! Joannie and Rob avoid the morning cleaning task by escaping on the tender for jellyfish hunting! Jacqueline on the alarm timing, at 9h55 all the team meet P1 and P2 on the pier as planned.

Skipper Duncan talked about the safety rule on a boat, everybody get tight his/her lifejacket and nine colourful children came on board the Silurian! Their energy was just marvellous, they resourced our team by their excitement when throwing a board the plankton net, their bright eyes looking at tiny living things through the binocular and their politeness with Duncan going around the boat! It is a great gift for us to feel this enjoyment. Jacqueline even felt sad to see the time running too fast. Biscuits and juice just flew by to get to the touch tank and sounds activities. Rob and Joannie had expressive teams touching the load of animals kindly gave by John’s fishing team:”Ah! Oh! Wow! Yuuuuu!!!” yield the P1 and P2 today scientists! Rob is getting really confident and after daily morning studying marine biology books, he gives great field facts about marine organisms! Kids may be impressed by his size, but they had a wonderful time with him! Aside Joannie and Rob tactile activity, Eilidh was singing with the cetaceans and students inside! Lunch bell was rung by Jacqueline, time was flying so fast!

A short break on the upper deck bathing under the sun and P3-4 and 5 came on board. The routine started again with as much colour and expression on the children face! This group surprised Duncan by their sailing knowledge and all they knew about tide and moon! Plankton sampling succeed again! Even if Jacqueline really wanted to slow down the time, there is nothing to do! Running out of it, Eilidh decided that Rob was so wonderful with the touch tank that it was more interesting to enjoy one long activity then running in between two (sounds activity was cancelled). Joannie and Eilidh improve their fishing knowledge by Rob Burney background life! Chief Rob cooked a delicious curry! Already one group left!
