This is a little email I received from some of the North Walls pupils along with some photos they took:
Hello,
Recently our teacher took some alevins out of the tank to examine them under the microscope and take pictures of them. But before we took the shots we gave them clove oil to stop them swimming about whilst we were taking the pictures.
Sorry we haven’t written to you for a while because we’ve been a busy class. We’ll send Mr. Pietri more pictures. All the swimmers are fine. Thank you we will try to keep you updated.
Adele, Andrew and Mia
Thank you very much Adele, Andrew and Mia for those two great pictures! Brilliant idea too, to have a ruler to show the actual size of the fish.
It would be interesting if you could tell us how you used the clove oil before you took the pictures of the alevin. How much did you use?
I bet it smelt really nice!
Well done to you all,
Mr.P
