EMILY .S. Fabulous bus trip!
At the Estuary Rooms 12 and 9 were digging up crab holes so we could hold the mini crabs!
The crabs we were holding were crabs that don't snip you and they run/walk to the side.
After we left the Estuary we went to Foxton beach to draw some of the dunes and their roots underneath the sand. I learnt that some types of crabs don't actually snip you with their
claws.When we went to the River Mouth I found a fish spine.

We were walking to the Estuary to dig the mud up to get some crabs
but it was hard going! Finally I got a crab!
Phoebe
We had to walk for 10 minutes to get to the Estuary where we dug up crabs and I can't believe I held one!
Kayla
It was fun when we went to the beach because we climbed up the sand dunes and
ran down them!
Anna
We all had lots of fun at the beach because we climbed up the sand dunes and looked at the grass and we drew pictures of the grass and wrote some facts down.
Alex
It was fun because we went up the sand dunes and drew the plants and went up the other sand dunes and looked at the back of them and saw little sand dunes.
Blair We had lots of fun at the beach because we were looking at how the plants grow and looked at what the roots looked like on the sand dunes. We copied what the plants looked like.

Wow!Who knew we made such a big impact on the beach environmen! The estuary was a fun experience because we were allowed to dig out the holes and catch the crabs.I caught about
6 crabs. Climbing the sand dunes was good exercise , it really worked our muscles! As we arrived at the top, we triumphed over our great success and the parent helpers looked at us as if we had gone mad (we probably had after sitting in a bus and climbing with jelly legs.) After celebrating like we were 3 years old, we sat down and drew what we saw. First I started to draw the dunes, one after the other patterned big and small.Then I made vegetation appear on the page.
Getting down the dunes was the easiest part because you could just let your self fall.
Overall it was an energetic experience.

I wish I could go back to the beach. We got to do crab racing with crabs. We went to the river but didn't get to swim but we know what a river mouth is now! We also climbed dunes, drew plants and the best part of all, EATING!!
VIENNA
We had a great time at Foxton beach. We went to the estuary and there were lots of crab holes, some of them were really small holes. The crabs that we we dug up were tiny. I was expecting them to be bigger than they were. We learnt a lot and I hope to go back again.
ZOE
We got to do crab racing by digging the crabs up first. We went to the river mouth at the Estuary and then we went to Foxton beach.The only thing that bothered me was the walking and the heat- that made it hard.
GENEA
We went to Foxton to learn about the coast. 1st we visited the Crabs but I never picked one up. So then we walked to the Rivermouth and stayed there for half an hour then went to the Beach and had a great time.
Kiana
It was so much fun at Foxton. We got to find little crabs. I found 4 crabs but the first time I found one I didn't want to hold it because I thought it was going to bite me.
Lorelle
It was a brilliant day at Foxton beach. I had lots of fun looking at the river mouth learning about the beach. We went to the estuary and I took photos of the crabs and drew lots of things. By the time it was over all of us were tired.
