Silurian travelled to Arisaig early in the morning to arrive in time for three workshops with students from the Primary School. P3 students boarded first, followed by P4 to P6 who wrote these comments:
Today we went to the dolphin trust and see lobsters, crabs and sea mouse. Archie
I liked holding the lobster best. Matthew
I enjoyed the lobsters. Michael
I liked the sea mouse the most. Jenny
Today what I liked was looking and feeling the sea creatures. Roslin
Looking and feeling the starfish. Edward
After lunch P7 students added:
Today i learned more about whales and dolphins.
I thought the best bit was looking around the boat and seeing how big it was and looking at the fish.
I was interested in the sea mouse. It was funny and colourful.
I enjoyed looking at the sea mouse.
I enjoyed seeing the star fish and the treasure hunt was very, very, very fun. Amy
Today I saw lots of interesting things. I learnt about the way some of the animals live. I also learnt about different things you find in the boat. Something I saw that I’ve never seen before is the sea mouse. The best bit was the treasure hunt.
My favourite part on Silurian was when we got to hold all the different types of lobsters and crabs.
As Silurian headed home the crew were delighted to encounter two killer whales – one male and one female. The perfect way to end a fantastic week.
