The Glen Preschool visit

This morning the Naíonra from The Glen Preschool came to visit us here at Sea Synergy!! A fantastic morning was had by all and the children got to see whale and dolphin bones and skulls.

They learnt about dolphins and listened to dolphins and whales talking under the sea! They even got to touch some of the live animals in the tanks and did some colouring in  of their favourite animals. Lots of fun and learning had by all!! Thanks Martina Reardon and all the Naíonra for coming to visit us and see you again soon!!
