Last Friday we visited Southsea Aquarium, where we got to see lots of different sea creatures including sting rays, sharks, sea horses and lots of different types of fish. As part of the trip we had a talk from the aquarium staff about the sting rays and sharks, where we found out the answers to lots of questions that we had been thinking about in the week. Some of our favourite questions were; What do fish eat?, How do jellyfish breathe? and Why are puffer fish spiky? This week we have been learning about some of the animals in more depth, and creating fact files to show the new information we have learnt. We have really enjoyed learning all about creatures that live under the sea and are looking forward to continuing our topic. ### Reception Highlights 06/05/22 [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/r2.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/r2.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/r3.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/r3.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/r4.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/r4.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/rr1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-06-05-22/rr1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/n2.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-04-28-nursery-highlights) Previous ### [Nursery Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-04-28-nursery-highlights) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/52.png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-05-13-year-5-highlights) Next ### [Year 5 Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-05-13-year-5-highlights) ### 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/)
