Year 4 went to Sea Life Centre in Birmingham on Thursday. The children behaved superbly. They demonstrated some super knowledge and asked intriguing questions. A particular highlight was standing under the tanks in the tunnel as the sharks and stingrays swam over their heads. They learnt a lot about conservation and how we can help.
