Our class was fortunate enough to participate in the EMR programme this term. A qualified expert came to our classroom to teach us about the importance of Marine Reserves and the different species we would find in our local protected area - Matai Bay.
Classroom Based Session
The students worked in pairs to match the species they would encounter.
Fitting Our Snorkeling Gear
The students were then taught how to fit snorkeling gear and were given a practice snorkeling session in our school pool.
 |
| Add a small amount of toothpaste to your goggles to stop them from fogging up. |
 |
| Test to see if your snorkel fits by placing it on your face and sucking in through your nose, it should then stick. |
 |
| Aria's mask fits perfectly. |
 |
| After rubbing toothpaste on your goggles, be sure to rinse them clean. |
Pool Based Session
 |
| Ready, set, snorkel. |
 |
| The students were taught to dive under the water, through the hoop, and then blow all the water out of their snorkel instead of coming back up for air. |
 |
| Each group will have a body board with them for safety reasons. |
We are ready, and look forward to our real snorkeling session at Matai bay towards the end of March. Yeehaw!
