Today the vancouver aquarium

Came to visit my school today. I got to touch a,wolf fur,starfish,turtle,sea anemone.

It was really fun. We learned a  lot about those animals.

It was very interesting because i did not know too much about those animals.

Touching the turtle was one of my favorite parts. We also learned about litter in the sea. And some times when we drop plastic the turtles gets stuck in the plastic and they grow like that and it very bad for the turtles.

We also got to see plankton. Like the one from spongebob but the ones i saw was like kinda yellowish and way smaller. The end.

Aquavan Reflection

My class and I had the honor of getting to see (and touch) a bunch of ocean animals with the Aquavan. It was pretty cool.

I’m honestly horrified of the ocean. We don’t know even half of what’s going on down there. But getting to see the creatures gave me small, itty, bitty, tiny, microscopic change of heart.

They were still mysterious, disgusting, and weird but it made me think. What do animals think of us? Are they actually as scared of us as we are of them? If we stopped polluting the ocean, would it help us find more species of things? I thought of these questions for a while but could never find an answer that made sense in words. All I know is that we need to go with the idea I bring up really often. We all need to cooperate. Everyone says they’re gonna help the ocean and such. But how? Talking to your friends about it? Last time I checked you have to do things if you want them to happen.

Here’s an example.

Do you want to help people without enough food?

Then try and start a food bank and donate it to the hundreds of charity that exist.

If you want to help save animals I’ll put in links to a few charities. WWF, Sea Turtles, Save the seals

What I think of that the Aquavan  when they came to our school is wow! They were awesome in explaining all the different types of sea animals!

 

They also did really well with showing (two) classes all these animal; skulls,skin/fur,x-oskeleton of a spider crab. Even got to touch live animals like; sea urchins, (got to see)a sea anemone.
And That’s why I like the Aquavan thing in our gym

AquaVan Visit

AquaVan Reflection

     During the AquaVan visit I learned some valuable information. They talked to us mostly about the state that the ocean is in. It is horrible. I thought the plastic island was the size of Texas, but she said it is now the size of BC and Alberta combined! I also learned that in the year 2040 they think that there will be no more seafood. So unless we change soon, there will be no more seafood to eat. I think to help the problem we should stop using unnecessary plastics. Plastic is the main thing that made all this happen in the first place. The effects that we make on the ocean can affect us so I hope we change soon.

Should Seals Be Served On The Menu

A couple weeks ago we were learning about a place in B.C (I think) called Edible Canada and they served seal. So we had a debate or some sort about should we serve seal on the menu. Are teacher told us to write a comment about SHOULD SEAL BE SERVED ON THE MENU. Make sure to check it out.

Should seal be served on the menu…

Yes, seals should be served on the menu because there very nutritious and wouldn’t become extinct because they’re so many of them. If your vegan or something I understand you can’t eat meat. I know why many people are against this opinion,

well first of all people think there cute, well it’s true for me because I think seals are adorable but just because there cute doesn’t mean they can’t be killed. Another thing I wonder is that why shouldn’t we eat seal if we can eat bears, rabbits, frogs and more. Why could these other animals could be eaten but we can’t eat seal. So that’s my explanation of this debate let are class know would you eat seal and why.

Edible Canadians

Hi,In my class we were talking about harp seals on the menu my friends thought it was gross but i thought it was good we were having a vote then my friends decided that we would want to talk harp seals off the menu that’s when my teacher told us that we’re gonna write on our blogs about harp seals My thoughts is to eat seals because some people don’t  have a lot of food so they,might have to eat seals we should eat seals because there is a lot of harp seal We should not eat seals because they did not harm us also then they will be endangered specie for the past six years, nearly 400,000 harp seals were hunted by Canadians the population has declined rapidly by over 50% , and there were an estimated 5,500,000 Harp seal in 2004 harp seals can live up to 25 to 30 years in the wild  so that is all i have to say to you guys and girls.
