Otago Marine Centre Trip

Mrs Pollard — April 8th, 2019

Year 2 visited the Portobello Marine centre on Monday 8 April to take part in a programme entitled "Seashore Scramble".

The children enjoyed exploring the rocky shore and discovering life at low tide. Another highlight was getting up close and personal with the animals in the touch tank.
