A kelly Tarltons Experiene

On the Wednesday 25th of October 2017 room 9 and room 10 went to a trip to Kelly Tarlton to learn about marine animals and we got there by bus.

First we went to Robert Falcon Scott’s Hut and learnt all about the old stuff in there.  There were like old piano,books clothing and old bunk beds and  I felt like an  old explorer.

Next we went to the penguins and we saw lots of cute emperor penguins. There was a lady feeding the penguin’s sardines but the lady didn't give it to the other penguins who already had one or two.One of the penguin was also picking the lady’s bottom i was laughing.

Then we went on the travelator and we saw sharks,stingrays,sea turtles and crayfish.

We were so delighted because we went a round and saw kind of fish and marine.

 

I will like to go back to kelly Tarltons because it was too amazing.
