A Day at the Beach

We went to the Carnoustie beach because we have been learning about the rocky shore in class.  The first thing that we did was we looked in the rock pools to see what animals we could find.  We found starfish, crabs, one fish (a blenny) and more like perriwinkles, barnacles, limpets and even hermit crabs!  It was fun to go onto the beach and find lots of different animals that we had been learning about in class. 

We also walked up the strandline to see what we could find under the seaweed.  Andrew F found some Whelk egg cases and Rhianne found a bird chest bone.  (Andrew S found a bag handle!?!).    We also did a scavenger hunt, some environmental art (like Andy Goldsworthy) and in the afternoon we did a house competition, where we had to make sand sculptures.
