On Sunday the 9th of September all of the Upper Sixth Biologists embarked on an adventurous 3-day-journey to Dale Fort; Wales.
Day 1 was spent at Jetty Beach, the local seashore, where we observed and marvelled at the existing animals and plants. Later on, the rubber boots, waterproofs and several layers of clothes proved to be beneficial when rain started to pour down during our seashell-investigation.
However, we soon headed back to the centre to get some delicious marble cake. Steve and John, our teachers at Dale Fort, taught us all about ecology, succession and shores. We put our brains to work, learning about statistics and creating bar graphs.
The hike to the Genn Saltmarsh was the highlight of the trip. Besides having a picnic in the sun (which was later rifled by Maggie – the Dale Fort dog), all of the students had to go across the sludge - some more successful than others.
Even though our Dale Fort journey was full of hard work, all of us greatly enjoyed the field work and the interesting lessons.
