Week 3 - Friday, August 17th
Hello YELPers!
First of all, thank you so much for the amazing week! We learnt so much from the animals, from the Aquarium and from one another over the course of this week. We would like to also extend a thank you to the research team in West Van, Jessica from BC Cetaceans Sightings Network, Ruby from the Aquarium Biologist team, and the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre for adding so much to our week here at YELP.
What we did:
- We spent one half of our day touring and then helping out at the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. We saw so many adorable baby seals, and it felt very rewarding to help out and make an impact on their lives!
- We worked on our Personal Mind Maps to show our progress over the last week. We added to our old mind map that we created on Monday, in order to display the new connections we had made.
- We played some games in Crab Park, including the West Wind Blows, Pass the Chicken, and Grounders.
Questions to ask:
- How was your experience helping out at MMR?
- What are some new connections that you made over the week?
Resources:
- Remember that if you see a marine animal in distress you can call 604-258-SEAL!

Remember to wash the clothes you wore to MMR and have a shower or bath before the next time you come to the Aquarium to keep the animals at the Aquarium safe! Thank you all again for participating in YELP this week and we hope to see you all continue to grow into world-changing leaders!
