Children from Kindergarten to Grade 6 learned about unique creatures like the Slender Snipe Eel, the Dumbo Octopus and a pregnant Frilled Shark whose pregnancy lasts for three and a half years—the fun-filled lessons aligned with the TD Summer Reading Clubs ‘Around the World’ theme.

They also learned about the journey water takes and how it impacts people, as well as hearing about faraway places and the amazing work scientists and engineers are doing around the world. Their instructor, Ben, took them beyond the earth, and they learned about flight, rockets and stars.
