NatureBridge!

We had a great trip to NatureBridge last week.  Here are the slides from the presentation the students gave in Gathering to the other students.  

Merrymere Falls Hike

When we were at Merrymere Falls we learned that if you stare at the falls and then the rocks beside it the rocks look like the rocks are moving up.

Free Time

In free time there was a lot of fun. We did lots of different things in free time. At the beach we made forts out of drift wood.

Beach Time!

Marine Mammals

One of the games that we played was Seal and Sea Lion. A seal on land moves without it’s flippers. A sea lion on land only moves with it’s front flippers. We were supposed to move like a seal one way and move like a sea lion. In another game we played, we each got a card and we put it on our foreheads. Then we gave each other hints and tried to guess what our card was.

Dolphin and Salmon Game

ORT!

 

At Nature Bridge there was this thing called Ort. Ort is left over food from meals. Seabury had 0 Ort every meal.

Games at NatureBridge

Where is Sheepie is one of the games that we played at Nature Bridge. It was a game that you line up somewhere on the beach. When the guide looks away you need to run and grab Sheppie. Then we had to get all the way back without the guide guessing who had Sheepie. The catch was that everyone had to hold Sheepie before we could win. It took about 4-5 times to come up with a strategy to get Sheepie back.

 Tide Pooling

On the first full day we were there we went tide pooling at Salt Creek. We saw lots of cool sea creatures like the blood sea star.

It was super slippery and we were basically walking on mussels. Lots of people fell in the water, including Mrs. Price.

Campfire!

Canoeing

We all had an awesome time canoeing,

we heard some awesome stories (which

you'll be hearing about on Sam’s slide. )
