A Terrapin pays a visit!

We were very lucky to have another visitor in top Year 2 this morning, Zeb and his Dad bought in their pet Terrapin. He was very eager to have a look around our classroom! The children could look at Michealangelo and compare his features with Cooper (the tortoise). Michaelangelo had webbed feet so that he could swim in water and very long nails that help him to grab on to rocks.

Year 2 also received a very special letter today from a Scientist at the Sea Turtle Conservation Society. He asked for their help with designing and making up a leaflet to warn tourists about sea turtles on the beach. Year 2 are loving this topic and seem very enthusiastic to make sure that the sea turtles are being looked after. They all found out today about the problems that sea turtles are facing and why only 1 in 1000 survives to become an adult!
