Our visit to the seabird centre today was great fun. The first thing i learned about was how to build a small rock pool for a starfish. We then saw the first ever diving suit, it had a metal helmet with glass, it was a leather suit with metal boots, it looked uncomfortable not like the diving siuts nowadays. On the projecter we saw the Bassrcok, Craig, Fidra and Dunbar harbour. If you look carefully you can see animals on the islands. I enjoyed the visit as it was fun, educational, and i really enjoyed building the rock pool for the starfish. We learned alot today.
I realy enjoyed making homes for the animals with sand and rocks it was great.I liked doing all the stuff to find out about evrything under

I liked looking at the seabed tank and it sometimes took a while to find some of the sea creatures as they were quite camouflaged.

I also liked it when I got a coloured pencil and started to colour a bird I done all of them my favourite one was a parrot they are also my favourite one as well.
I liked it best when I got to smell things and guess what it was, one of them was herring and that really stinked and the two others were bird poo and oil but they both reeked

My favourite bit was when we made a home for a lobster. It was made from old wood, sand and shells with seaweed.
I learned at the Seabird Centre that sea horses have hundreds of babies.
Downstairs we watchet the gannets on the Bass Rock through the cameras.
Sea horses camouflage themselves in seaweed so they dont get eaten.

P5As visit to the seabird centre
As soon as we got to the Seabird Centre we got split into groups. Mine was the one that got to go downstairs first and the other group got to stay in the top bit.
While I was in the downstairs bit we got to play a game on one of those game machines on how to save pollution. Then we went down the flyway it was brill! In the Discovery Centre we controlled cameras and saw birds on the islands and rocks off the coast.
