Charlie, from year one, said: “My favourite part was going through the tunnel of sea creatures; I had a sting ray above my head.
“I learnt that plastic is not good for turtles as if it is left on beaches, the turtles have no room to lay their eggs.”
Vicky Dedman, key stage one leader, said: “This type of visit is a valuable way to help the children develop their understanding of global issues in a relaxed and stimulating environment.”
