Turtle Class - Autumn Term Curriculum Jigsaw
We were all pleased to see each other after the holiday and we have had a lovely first few days settling in to Turtle Class.
We spent time thinking about how we wanted to behave in our new class and we worked together to make a list of class rules to try to follow. We asked and answered questions about turtles and learned a very catchy song about turtles called 'Here we go'! Our turtle sketches are really going to look great on display just outside the classroom too. We also welcomed the newest member of our class - lots of names were suggested for our class turtle and in the end we had to draw it out from a hat (well it was a tin actually!) - welcome 'Milly the turtle'!
