Welcome

Welcome to the new home of the Big Blue Bus! This site still has all your favourite features like the Water Wizards Club, but has been expanded with new activities, The Small Fry Club especially for kids 7 and under, contests, games, facts, and more! It has also grown from an oceans website to include all sorts of information for you on all things watery! Even better – this website will continue to expand over the next months so check back often!

Neptune is still looking for Water Wizards to join forces to help protect the world’s water sources. This special force is for kids 8 to 15 years old, so if you are in that age group and eager to become a Planet Protector, Join Up Today! (If you aren’t quite old enough, don’t worry! You are one of our special Small Fry – learn more when you Join The Small Fry Club!)

Neptune has been working very hard to teach the world how important it is to protect all the world’s water sources, and has enlisted the help of some new friends that he would like to introduce you to:

Visit the Park where Puffy the Pollution Slayer and Billy the Bass will show you how to be a Planet Protector! Learn all about how to protect your drinking water, how to keep water sources clean, how to adapt to climate change, what invasive species are, and what species are at risk…and more!

Maximus Octopus is in the Sandbox with loads of activities, experiments, stories and games that will keep you occupied and water-wise.

Dolly Varden has rounded up all sorts of information in the Creature Feature to help you with reports or just to satisfy your curiosity on all sorts of watery creatures. (Did you know a seal is called a “pinniped”?!) The special feature this month is the Salmon Lifecycle. Find out how a Salmon grows from an egg at the bottom of a stream into an adult who swims for hundreds of miles into the ocean, then returns to the very stream it was born in to lay eggs of its own…

William Whitefish runs the Big Blue Bus Library. In the library you can consult the glossary to expand your watery vocabulary, learn about water and fisheries protection laws from Judge Jellyfish, find links to other watery resources, read stories, find links to great books, and more!

Fisher S. Thompson has searched far and wide to come up with some of the most interesting watery Facts in the whole universe so you can impress all your friends with your vast and quirky knowledge of underwater life!

Polly Perch is our school mistress, who will do her very best to help you with your homework, answer questions about the underwater world, share her resources with your teachers, show you how to choose a career and find a job in water or fish protection, and she has compiled some activities to teach you more about how water works! Visit the School House!

All this and lots more are yours for exploring on the Big Blue Bus. Welcome aboard!!
