We took our fish babies to Meldrum Bar Park in Gladstone last week. Each student scooped out a few smolt (there were a lot of them!) and helped them into the river. It turned out to be a great day for letting them go... it wasn't raining!!
The waiting in between was the hardest part... but the kids were so good!
Everything was going "swimmingly" (haha!!) until a boat went by. The waves created by the boat were a bit rough for our little fish! Some of them got swished back up on to the rocks... however, we were able to get most of them back into the water quickly. Whew!
Can you see the little guy?
Some couldn't decide what to do... we figured they were in a bit of shock! They huddled together whenever they found a buddy. It was a fun - if quick - field trip. Next time we'll have to take our lunches and have a picnic. (If the weather is warmer, that is!!)
