This week, because of the tides, we're doing things a bit differently.
We had class in the mornings and then we went out on a field trip in the afternoon.
Dr. Holyoak decided last minute to have yesterday be the day that we learn about sandy shores (aka the beach) day since it was such a beautiful day. Sunshine, warm temperatures and just a gentle breeze. It was lovely.
Except, the field trip that we went on today involved going to the beach. Followed by 3 more beaches. It was a rough day.
I mean, look at these pictures.
Bastendorf Beach
Lighthouse Beach
Sunset Bay
Just a little selfie.
Chaco day! Happy day!
Cool flowers at Simpson Bay.

We were looking for whales, With our binoculars.
We didn't spot any.
So. I guess that basically sums up our adventure.
We took sand samples at each beach and we're going to compare them and sift them to see how the wave action effects the sand size. Cool, huh?
