We wanted to see real sea-life animals because it was part of our topic "The Blue Abyss". At exactly 9 o'clock, we got on the coach. I sat next to Jai and my mum because she decided to go on the trip too (obviously I got the window seat). **Entering the Aquarium** After a few hours, we finally got to the awesome Sealife Centre. When we got in, there was a piece of glass and underneath was a tank filled with sharks! There were so many pictures of sea animals and there were so many cool, dim lights. Then we went to the workshop and a lovely, smart young man told us the difference between tropical and native fish. Then he let us identify different animals. After that, he told us about the animal families. **Walking around** When we had finished our lunch, we split up and walked around. We saw a mixed breed of sting-ray and shark; her name was Betty. We saw the best Nemo and Dory. Then we saw real-life turtles and penguins. After that we went to a place where animals from the Antarctic came on the screen. Minutes later, we saw sea-horses and some bugs. After that, we saw jellyfish! Then we went up again and looked at the sharks. Then we went back to school. **Trip review** I would give this trip a 4 out of 5 because some animals were just on TV screens. I would recommend this trip for 5 – 80 years old because kids have fun and old people can too. The best part was the glass tank to view the sharks. **By Josiah, Year 4** ### Year 4 trip to Sea Life Centre [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_122007.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_122007.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_122017.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_122017.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_141042.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_141042.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_141710.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-4-trip-to-sea-life-centre/20191010_141710.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/1.png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-10-08-accelerated-reading-in-the-library) Previous ### [Accelerated Reading in the Library](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-10-08-accelerated-reading-in-the-library) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/sid_2.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-10-14-highlights-from-year-1) Next ### [Highlights from Year 1](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-10-14-highlights-from-year-1) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
