Beach Study and Litter Pick

13th Mar 2020

P6 were very fortunate today to go to Queen's University Marine Laboratory department located here in Portaferry.  The children spent the first half of the morning looking for and collecting a wide variety of sea creatures .  The children found Butterfish, Rockfish, starfish and a variety of shore crabs.  As we walked back up the beach the children collected litter to help clear the beach of unwanted rubbish.

The weather held and the children had a fantastic morning !

The children and staff of St. Mary's would like to extend our thanks again to the Queens staff who taught us many facts on the sea creatures we found.
