Terrific Turtle Trip<br />

On May 27, the Year 1 class went to the Turtle Sanctuary Centre in Sattahip to<br />

learn more about our topic “Dinosaurs and Other Animals”.<br />

We had a great time. First, we watched a video about sea turtles and learnt about<br />

the different kinds of sea turtles. Then we went to the museum to see the preserved sea<br />

turtles and their eggs and learnt how to identify a male from a female sea turtle as well as<br />

their life cycle. We have also seen other sea animals in the museum. We had a chance to<br />

see the nursing area where we fed the baby turtles (hatchlings) with fish. We had so much<br />

fun feeding them!<br />

As the Turtle Sanctuary is a charity, we also gave a donation to help the project to<br />

thrive. In return, we’ve all got cute sea turtle key rings and necklaces. The trip ended with<br />

an ice cream! Yum!
