On Friday 4th May 2012, the Bicicletta LC went to the Melbourne Aquarium...
(click on the images below to see them at full size)
The Penguins
"The penguins can slide."
"See? That one had a stream of bubbles coming off its back!"
"Look! Air bubbles up in the rock!"
“They come out of the penguin’s bottom!” (referring to the air bubbles)
“They get stuck in the dents of the rock!”
“See that one? He had air bubbles all over his back.”
“That one’s quite shiny.”
The Sea Stars and Sea Biscuits
“It felt slimy”
“It looks like a leaf”
“They feel spikey”
“They felt scaly”
“It felt like warm, soft in bed”
“It’s called a sea star because it can’t swim”
Reflection back at school: sharks, stingrays and eyes
“I saw the shark and was closed his eyes and he was sleeping walk, but shark is still sleeping because he have to swimming. And he do it slowly, slowly and swimming.”
“When sharks sleep they open their eyes and they still float on the water except they go really slow. Starfish’s eyes are on their backs.”
“I learned that sharks have eyes on their cheeks.”
“On Stingrays their eyes are on the bottom of their body and at the very end of their fins they’ve got poisonous, I don’t know what it is... stingers? And you can only touch them in certain places. And also their gills are on the bottom.”
“The stingrays’ eyes are on its head.”
“They’re both right because the stingray’s eyes are on the top and the bottom.”
“I know because I crouched down and I looked on the top and I saw nothing that looked like eyes.”
Drawing at the aquarium...
“I can’t describe how they move because they move so slowly,” referring to the small, long fish.
and adding water colour back at school.
“It’s blurry ‘cause it’s moving so fast,” referring to the blurry effect the water had on the colour in his drawing.
