On the way we saw the Sydney Opera House and drove over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Finally we arrived and had some recess.
As we entered the aquarium, we were greeted by fish, sea horses and glowing jellyfish! We continued our journey to see many more sea creatures along the way.
Highlights included the underwater tunnels, where we saw sharks, turtles and dugongs. Some of us were lucky enough to see one of the dugongs being fed lettuce. The lady feeding her told us she gets fed every 10 minutes! She must have a sore tummy!
Another highlight was going on a short boat ride to see penguins. We had to be quiet because it is mating season.
Finally we were able to touch some sea creatures in the touch pool. We touched starfish, sea cucumbers and we saw a shark egg. It was brown and twisty!
All of Year 1 had a great time!
