Read on to hear some of our Grade Five's reflections ...
Written by grade five students: Delano and Isaac
There were lots of streams and water throughout the park and we saw a side channel for the salmon to swim up. We learned lots of facts about fish and nature. There was also another pond with lots and lots of ducks.
There are six different species of salmon: Steelhead, Chum, Coho, Chinook, Sockeye, and Pink.
After the eggs hatch they turn into alevins. Then the alevins eat out of their yolk sacs for food. Next they change into fry. The fry’s then search for insects and other food. Next the salmon turn into smolts and begin adapting to salt water. Then the salmon change again into adults and migrate. When they return home they will be swimming upstream, fighting rapids and waterfalls, until finally they make gravel nests and spawn. The salmon die after completing their task of having their babies.
Also thank you to Mr. Conley for making this opportunity possible for the kids.
