Jenkinsons Aquarium


Our Field trip

We had an awesome trip in spite of the bad weather.

 I would like to thank Mrs. Arora, Mrs. Rathaur, Mr. Bharti and Mr. Azer for being great chaperones. We could not have made this trip a success without their help.

Boys and girls, write a few paragraphs about your field trip to Jenkinsons Aquarium.
Do not forget to mention the interesting facts we learned today especially about penguins. Remember the five elements for a good story - character, setting, events, problem and solution.  (Remember to have a beginning, middle and end to your story).
Good Luck!

  1. The trip I went to on Friday was awesome because part of it like when we had the guided tour this man he showed us around and when he showed us around we got to touch animals and after that we saw penguins and the guy he told us facts.Sorry Mrs.Singh that's all I can remember. Bye see you Monday.

  2. Friday, I went on my class feild trip to the
    'Jenkinsons Aquarium.'
    It was very awesome because we got a chance to see sharks, seals, penguins, alligators, don't forget the beach, the sea star-see I remembered-
    and the see orchin, plus the horseshoe crab, last but not least, the hermit crab.
    I feel so bad for one of the seals because it was blind in one eye, I think.
    The horseshoe crab loked pretty discusting in my opinion, the sea star and the orchin felt very pointy.

  3. Hey! Its me, Aarushi. Last Friday we went to the Jenkinsons Aquarium. It was real fun exept for the part that it was raining. :( But that's ok. What I saw were seals, turtles, frogs snakes, shark, seahorse, fish, stingray, eel, alligator, and penguins. We also touched animals, such as seastars, sea urchin, Knobed whelk (hermit crab), and a hotseshoe crab.

    Some things that I learnt were that scientists have only discovered 3% of the animals in the ocean. One thing that I thought was right, was actually wrong. I thought that penguins ONLY live in cold places, but acually penguins live in warm places such as the Golapogus Islands.

    Good thing I mentioned the Golapogas Islands, because my mom was amazed by Param, and yes, I said PARAM! I was shocked when she saiid that. :0 She said it was because he knew most of the answers to the guide's questions. He knew all the reptile names and things that pretty much the other kids in the class dont even know. This whole trip that I had was the secnd best day of my life (the first was when I visited the Taj Mahal)

  4. Hey,this is Param. Last Friday we went to Jenkinsons Aquarium. It was so cool! In the bus, Me and Atharva helped Varun play WORD MOLE. when we got to the aquarium, the first thing we did was go on Point Pleasant beach. Next, we ate lunch. Then, we went to the arcade.I loved the arcade! my favorite game there was H2 overdrive.

    When we finally went inside the aquarium, a tour guide showed us a tour of the aquarium. We saw the seals first. the seal's names were Luseal, Seaquin, and Coral. Next, we saw a Knobbed Whelk, a Horseshoe Crab, a Sea Star, and a Sea Urchin. Then, we went to the Penguins. I didn't know the answer to the question the tour guide asked, but I knew the type of penguin that he was talking about. My favorite part was the seals.

    After that,we went to the alligators and crocodiles exhibit. The tour guide asked most of the questions at that point. I knew that the Gharial has a knob at the end of it's long snout. I also knew that the Caiman has a short and round snout and that it is bigger than the American Alligator. We got to see what I think is Mississippi Alligator baby bones.

    I could not go to the souvenir shop because we had to go back to the school. I tried to massage Karan's back with a ball while he was sleeping on the bus :-) It was so fun! Karan fell down in the aisle in the bus because he was sleeping and the bus jolted on a sharp turn.
    I went down the hall in the school and went to my classroom. I kept thinking "This was such a fun trip!!"

  6. When Samod, Varun, Ansh, Param and Mr. Bharti arrived, I was very thrilled to go but I still did not realize that it would be much more exciting than what I was thinking.
    When we were on the bus, I was getting bored after a while because the bus still was not moving and it had already been what seemed like an hour. “When are we going to move!?”, I said. Just then the bus was moving and we were on our way.
    When we got to Point Pleasant, the first thing we did was go on the beach. We took pictures of the really big waves and of each other. We pretended the waves were tsunamis and we had fun letting our shoes get wet. When we were done, we ran to the bathroom having the urge to go very badly. Then Samod, Varun, Atharva and I went to call Param since he kept on wandering away. We had lunch and then we went to the arcade. I won lots of expensive prizes. Then we went for the guided tour. It was cool touching the animals and the sharks amazed me. I was very curious about how they caught the piranhas. Then we went to the penguins. I never knew that penguins aren’t only in Antartica. Then when they told us that scientists have only discovered 3% of the ocean, I was shocked! It all seems like they have discovered so much but it was actually so little.
    Then after the tour, I went to the souvenir shop and from there to the arcade. I won lots of expensive prizes again. Finally we had to go back to school. I wanted to stay longer and have fun even though the weather was bad.
    When we got back, the first thing I did was find Atharva. Then we all went to the computer lab and then home.

  9. My (Lahari) field trip to Jenkinson Aquarium


    Last Friday, we had a field trip to the Jenkinson’s aquarium. My teacher, Mrs. Singh, divided the class into four groups. There were six of us in each group.
    First, our group decided to go to the beach. We had a lot of fun watching the big waves. We played on the beach for sometime. We had a race till the top of the boardwalk. I won the race two times. Next, we headed over to our tables to eat lunch. I had Jelly sandwiches and juice. Then we went to the souvenir shop. I bought a bag of “Fool’s gold nuggets”.
    Later, we went to visit the aquarium. It was a big aquarium, it was on 2 floors. On the first floor, we saw many seals. The tour guide told us about Luseal. She was blind. Then we went to see some turtles and sharks. I noticed that one shark was bleeding. Tour guide let us touch the animals but we had to wash our hands to do so. I touched a starfish, a Sea Urchin and a crab. Next, we went to the second floor to see more sea animals. Our guide told us not to tap on the glass. Here we saw some penguins and more seals. It was a lot of fun watching them.
    Mrs. Singh gave us fruit snacks. (Thank you Mrs. Singh !!). Next, we headed to the arcade. I played “Wheel of fortune” and I won 127 tickets. I exchanged them for a “Yorkie Magnet”. Our Chaperone’s called us to line up for the bus as it was time to get back to our classes. It was the most memorable field trip ever.

  11. On Friday April 1,2011 me and all the 3rd grade classes and my class went to Jenkinson's Aquarium. When we got on the bus to go to the aquarium my group sat in the back. When we left, it was a long ride to get there.

    At the aquarium, first we saw seals then we saw a lot of sharks in a big glass tank. After that we washed our hands and played around the world because we were waiting for the guy from the place to come back. When he came back he brought a seastar and a oyster and we got to feel them. I got to feel them twice. The seastar felt smooth and the oyster felt smooth too.
    My favorite thing we saw at the aquarium was the King Turtle.
    I was glad we went to the Aquarium and I'm glad we went to the beach too. I took pictures. We did a lot of fun things. It was a fun trip.

  12. On Friday April 1, 2011 me and my class went to "Jenkinson's Aquarium". It was fun. We did a lot of things. I'd like to thank Mrs. Arora, Mrs. Rathaur, Mr. Bharti and Mr. Azer (who is also my dad) for helping us at our field trip.

    So the first thing we did is when we got off the bus all of us went straight to the beach. When we got to the beach I said"wow it's been a while till I came to the beach and the waves are beautiful" so when Mrs.Singh told us to get off the beach we went to the suvernier shop i bought a dolphin book that tell all about them and a snugly dolphin that you can sleep with and I bought a bracelet for my mom it said #1 Mom. Then after that me and my group got hungry so we went to eat. While we were eating Leah had a drink called Arizona and 5 minutes the the drink fell on her food.

    After that we went to the candy shop I got 3 ring pops i ate on then it was time to go to the guided tour so we had to get in a line with the class but with the group too. So when we got in a line this man he came and tolled us rules for the tour. So when we got in there he showed us a lot of animals like seals, tertels, sharks,megldons, whale sharks and so much more a can't even remember them. then when we were done it was almost time to go so we went to the arcade. When we got there I went to play deal or no deal and I won a lot of tickets so when i got to the thing were you give them your tickets i got a playing card and the cards are huge and then it was time to go on the bus so we got on the bus and we were on our way to school.I hope we can go there again

  14. Today our class went to Jenkinsons Aquarium; it was fun even in bad weather. First when I got to school with no book bag Mrs. .Singh said to sit on the carpet so she can tell us about the trip. While she was doing that the chaperones started coming, Aarushi’s mom, my mom, Varun’s dad and Amanda’s dad. After that we all got on the bus. In the bus I talked to Sreya.Then we both started to take pictures of Lahari and Aaliyah. In one of the pictures of Lahari, one of her eyes was closed and one was open!
    Then when we got to the aquarium first my group went to the beach then we ate our lunches then we went to the beach again because Karan kept on running off. Then we went to the suvineer shop. At the suvineer shop I bought a pen and a shark tooth.
    Then I finally went to the Aquarium! When I got in the Aquarium first I saw seals one of them was blind. After the seals we saw sharks one of them was bleeding on its back it looked kind of scary. Then we touched some animals a Knobbed Whelk, a Horseshoe Crab, A sea urchin and a star fish. The Horseshoe Crab looked so ugly, disgusting and DISGUSTING! Then I saw more animals a sea horse, penguins, a piranha, a lepard fish, a poison dart frog and snake. Did you know that penguins mostly live in hot places!
    Then I went to the arcade I won 200 tickets! Then we went back to the bus and I fell asleep. When I got to school I went home with my mom and when I went home I said I wish this trip wasn’t done yet!

  15. On Friday, our class went on a field trip. We went to Jenkinson Aquarium. First, we found out what group we were in. I was in Aarushi’s group. We got on the bus. It took 1hour to get there. When we got there we headed for the beach.
    After we came from the beach, we wanted to eat but all the seats were taken. So we decided to go to the souvenir shop. I got a dolphin, an orange diamond, and a rock shaped like a heart. When we finished shopping, we got to eat.
    About 11:00 we got in line for the aquarium. Then a man came to show us around. We had to sit down to see and touch some animals. I touched a sea star, a sea urchin, and a hermit crab. When we finished that we got to see penguins, alligators, fish, and sharks. We learned that penguins come from hot places. People think that penguins come from cold places . It was time to go. We went on the bus and back to school.
