Sorry I didn't tell you about Torrey Pines! Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone!
Torrey Pines: was really fun. We learned about animals that live there like skunks, snakes, and animals like deer mice. We also learned about the plants there, too, like the prickly pear cactus, wild cucumber, and others. We learned about food chains too. The lunch on the beach was the best, though. I found half a crab claw and my friend found a whole lobster claw. We threw rocks in the water and chased each other around the beach.
Cabrillo/Tidepools: was fun, but not as fun as Torrey Pines. We took a hike and went on a scavenger hunt to find plants like black sage, mojave yucca, and the lemonade berry plant. Those berries were so sour and tangy! We watched a movie about the marine life in the tidepools and how they survive. Then we were off for lunch. After minutes of munching, we drove down to the tidepools. Those rocks were so slippery! I fell 2 times. Once I got my whole lower body wet and the second time I slid my foot in the water like a baseball player sliding to home base. My friend found a half a lobster being eaten by a sea anemone. I turned around because I had heard something, and I saw 2 crabs fighting. A bunch of kids came rushing over after 5 or 6 kids were gathered around, and then people started taking sides. "I'm on that crab's side!" "That one is one-armed, he's gonna lose! I'm on the two-armed crab's side!" "Me too!" After about 10 minutes, the crabs fell off the ledge and were falling into the water. People were bored by now, so everyone left. Around 1:30, the teachers said we had to leave.
When we got back to school, we all started to play four square, the bell rang, and finally school was over. The End.
