SNORKELLING!!



On the 11th of November Room 3 went to Goat Island and went snorkelling. When we were at Seafriends we got fitted for a wetsuit so we could go snorkelling .
Then next day we went to the beach and got on our wetsuits and got fitted with flippers, snorkel and a yellow hat.
Then we walked down to the beach backwards because we
could brake the flippers.
After all that we got to go in the water.
When we got in we got to go deeper and deeper, we swim all the way to the Goat Island and went along the side of the island.
We had never swam so far in the sea but it felt safe because we floated in the wetsuit.
Some people saw an Eagle ray, then when we had a break we saw lots and lots of snapper. Some were BIG and some were small. The instructers picked up a kina and waved it around then a huge school of snapper came. We were looking at the snapper and they were looking at us - it was awesome.
On the way back Luke saw Monkey face which is a big snapper with a funny face.
We loved snorkelling it felt like we were fish too.

Those wetsuits look pretty warm. Isn't it a great place to snorkle. We take all our visitors there to check out the fish
