Class Pet

This week we welcomed Saturn the snail to the Tawny Owls classroom. One of our DMAT schools were wanting to rehome some Giant African Snails and after discussing a class pet with the children we thought it would be a great idea!
The year 2 pupils have been researching information about them and writing their own Giant African Snail guides. These are going to be laminated and kept with Saturn for you to read if he ever comes to visit you during the school holidays.
When he arrived, the children thought about what to name him. All their ideas were written on pieces of paper and then one was randomly selected. We all love the name and we look forward to keeping you up-to-date with how he is getting on. 
The Tawny Owls would like to thank, Mr Brentnall and Miss Barrington for their generous donation of the tank and bedding and to FOBS for contributing to the heat pad and other ongoing costs such as feed. We hope Saturn will be very happy in his new home.
