Harper’s Reef Adventures
Today my class went to Gooches Beach Reef. I was with Grace Jellyman, Amelia, Autumn, and Lily. We found 3 starfish in the tidal pools. The first one was orange, small, and the legs were webbed together like gull’s feet. The second one was red and its legs were round, not pointy. It had 5 legs and the pattern on it was really pretty. The third one was a turquoise-gray color. The good thing about the rocks is that they…
Rueben’s Reef Observations: Back to the Reef
Today I went back to the reef. I was working with a lady called Hannah. We had to work with a quadrant. In our quadrant we found crabs, chitons, and a couple types of algae. At the end I had a go at driving this underwater car that floats on the surface. My favorite sea creature today was chitons. There are three types and my favorite was the chiton glaucus or snake skin chiton. I found quite a few chitons but…

Back to the Reef
I was in a group with Alpha, Leon and Moses. We went to the reef. I saw sypharochiton, chamaesipho barnacles, sea slugs, and an anemone. My favorite would be the starfish. I liked the colour and the pattern on it. Their mouth was in the middle. I also really liked the underwater camera because it can show us what we can’t see. It was really cooooooool! Here are some of our quadrant measurements: Quadrant 1: 85% ulva algae (sea lettuce)…
Reef Adventure
Yesterday our class walked to Gooches beach. It was a fun day because people came from America to study marine life. We were lucky for them to choose our school. The most interesting thing in my opinion was sea slugs. I think they’re amazing because they are so big compared to normal slugs which are small. They’re strong at sticking on rocks. They do that if they’re annoyed and agitated but if they aren’t sticky they are in a happy…
Marine Adventure
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! As we walked down to the waterfront. Standing on the other side of the road was about 20 people standing there they were the people who come from over the sea. The seastar has 5 arms and a round pad in the middle. Sometimes they are stripy and lots of different colors. You can find them in different places mostly under rocks. They have long arms.
