Field Trip to the Turtle Farm

We enjoyed a wonderful trip at the Turtle Farm ! Mr Geddes Hislop gave us an interesting lesson on classification and adaptation, we then got a tour of the farm and we were able to see these adaptations in real life !

Thankyou to our parent volunteers that were able to accompany us !
