Pupils set sail for adventure

PUPILS from Plymouth’s Marine Academy Primary school have been making the most of their coastal location, with a series of sailing days, discovering the sea and its wildlife.

The children sailed on the Johanna Lucretia, learning about seaweed, examining marine life under a microscope, and helping to pull up the stay sail and steer the tall ship. The trips are designed to encourage students to push themselves out of their comfort zones while spotting marine life and local landmarks along the coast.
