EMR DAY AT GOAT ISLAND

EMR AT GOAT ISLAND

It was so fun at Goat Island yesterday. Me and my friends got into the black van and Mr Walker drove us there. It was boring because it was 1hr and 30min drive there, but the view made it better because the mountains where everywhere. I felt happy and bored at the same time. We went up and down hills and finally we got there. We got out and the breeze hit us right there. After a while the bus arrived and we all sat down in our swimming togs. Sophie our group leader and her helper talked about the safety rules. The first group was Ocra's while they were snorkeling the rest of us went to the rock pools. It was so cool because there were holes and inside was salt water with sea snails. Also what was cool was we saw a eagle ray swimming underwater. Finally it was Sharks turn. We got our suits and fins also our masks on. We went down in our groups of 4 and we grabbed our board and we went swimming when I looked underwater I saw snappers and other fishes swimming. We went further and there were lots of seaweed when it touched me I was scared so I never looked down until we got near the shore. I finally swam on my own because I wasn't scared. After that we had lunch and we got ready to go back to school. We got changed and got back in the van and then we left. We slept on the way and it was a long drive. We got to school at 3.50pm and I missed the beach and the memories we had there.

I learnt that rubbish in the water kills our marine life and that is why our fishes are dieing also people over fish and our fish get less.
