Today we were joined by Port Ellen Primary. Before each group came on to the boat, the education team visited the school and students learnt about the work of the Trust and how to identify whales, dolphins and porpoises. Then each group walked to Silurian to begin the workshop aboard.

In the morning the P4 class wrote these comments:
