Hello children! Today a small group of us went out to the reef again to snorkel. We liked it so much last time that we needed to go again. Dru and Mike already told you that we say a bunch of jellyfish. Most of them were Moon jellyfish can be found in very large numbers in one place. I saw four at a time surrounding me! I was scared at first to get stung! Then we talked to the lifeguard and he picked it up! He told us that the sting is so mild that most people can’t feel it at all. Many people can handle this jellyfish without feeling a sting. So we all touched it! Guess what it felt like?? Jelly! We will actually be posting a video of us holding it! Exciting! Talk to you soon!! Lacy

We are amazed at all of the pictures and information you are sharing with us right now! It may be cold but you all have managed to bring the warmth of those Australian beaches right into our classroom for us!

What an ADVENTURE!

The first day that our group reached Sydney it was pretty cold, but not as cold as back home. We got to go to a beach called Manley Beach where our group got to try surfing. We got to hop onto a fairy to take us from one part of Sydney to the other side where the beach was located; it was so beautiful. The current was very strong so we had to be careful surfing so we would'nt get pulled under.
