Thursday morning, we woke up at quarter past
seven and we had our breakfast at quarter to eight. After that, we headed
straight to ‘Cape Recife’, a national reserve. We had a lot of fun there
searching for animals (in the intertidal zone), under all the rocks that we had
to gently lift and put back as they were. We saw many starfishes, seaweeds, two
common octopuses and other species, some quite rare like peanut worms. Lorien
Pichegru, the scientist, was also there to give us information about these sea
animals.

Some of us had big cameras for the photo contest, while others had
smaller cameras to take pictures of what we found.
Later on, we took the bus again to go to
Sardinia Bay. This bay has huge dunes and an incredible landscape.

We had the
big cameras once more but this time, we took turns so everyone got a chance to
take nice photos of the beautiful spot where we were. We got to swim in the
warm water and do some snorkeling. We saw some fishes, seaweeds and others.
After having lunch and spending some time
playing in the dunes, we had a great lesson on the beach. Lorien explained us
some important facts about fishing and overfishing and the consequences it has
on many species. We learned a lot. Then, some of us got to
interview a calamari fisherman for our article for the school’s webradio. We
also studied the plants and animals that we found and the way they survived in
the sand.
At the end of the afternoon, we went to Boardwalk
mall to do a treasure hunt our teachers had organized. We had to find special
places in the mall and take a picture of them. To find those places, we had to
ask people in the mall if they knew where each place was. It was great fun !
Finally, we went back to the resort and after
dinner we played a scary game ‘Le Loup Garou’ (The werewolf) in French. We all
laughed a lot.
It was a really fun and educational day.
