This month I've been learning about Oceans and Seas using various internet resources and this book and then I completed a quiz on Kahoot which my mum created based on the book.
On our outing day, we drove to Bray to visit Sealife and as it was pouring rain it was the perfect day for it. It was my first time to visit the marine sanctuary and education centre which is on Bray Seafront. There is a scratch-quiz for children to do while touring the exhibits which is good for encouraging children to read the information posts. I got to touch a Starfish in the touch pool which felt far more spikey than I imagined it would! There is a great variety of sea creatures including jellyfish in a cool light display tank, turtles, squid, lobsters, stingray, sharks and some recognisable 'characters' from kids movies such as Nemo! My favourite creatures were the seahorses which were so cute. There are feedings on the hour and a tour guide explains some interesting facts about the fish she is feeding. The guides were really friendly and available to answer any questions along the route. I really enjoyed the visit and would definitely recommend a visit to Sealife. We had a lovely coffee and a muffin in Fimbees café next door and Bray Seafront is perfect for a walk or beachcombing. You can walk around to the harbour to see the swans or up Bray Head or along the Cliff Walk towards Greystones. The DART station is a stone's throw away and the train journey to Bray in either direction is particularly scenic.
