Reception Book Hook! Space Tortoise by Ross Montgomery Today our Reception class were truly overwhelmed to welcome some new temporary class members into their classroom! Our guest Debbie Walsh from @tavistock.pet.emporium - kindly brought in three of her pet tortoises to meet the excited children. Debbie shared all her knowledge of these wonderful reptiles, which sparked great conversations between our children regarding their own observations as they grew observed the tortoises moving around the carpet. To make the morning even more special Debbie encouraged the children to handle the tortoises. Our ambassadors were so incredibly gentle and welcoming - Debbie was truly soo impressed with their respectfulness and collaborative ethos #spacetortoise #receptionbookhook #powerofreading #earlywriting
