A special visitor joined us in F2 today and for our afterschool Nature Club!

We were very excited to meet Dave the Horsfield tortoise and had great fun learning lots of tortoise facts!

We had lots of chats and discussions about reptiles, different types of reptiles and where they live around the world. We spoke about a tortoise diet, which lead to a fab dandelion hunt around school, and how important it is to care for their shell!

We loved comparing Dave to ourselves, pointing out his claws, beak instead of mouth, scaly skin and no eye-lashes or eyebrows!

The children were very caring and gentle with Dave and the session was very calming! The children have begged for Dave to come visit again soon and next time they’ll have strawberries waiting for him!

P.s the highlight of the session was giving Dave a toothbrush massage!!!!
