Feeding Time for the Eels

Off to fed the eels - Tupou, Alexandra and Anne Marie

The children fed the eels this morning and they were rather hungry.  They jumped up to eat the crab meat, splashing some of the children.  The children came back to class very excited that they were able to see the eels moving around their tank and splashing.
