Year 1 were lucky enough to have a special visitor – Mr Heatley, our Headteacher, brought in his pet tortoise, Charlie! The children were absolutely thrilled to meet Charlie and had the chance to ask lots of questions about tortoises and how to look after them.

Mr Heatley shared fascinating facts about Charlie’s diet, habitat, and the special care tortoises need to stay healthy and happy. The children were eager to learn about the responsibilities involved in caring for a pet, and it sparked some thoughtful discussions about looking after animals at home.

The visit was not only a fun way to meet a new friend, but it also helped the children understand the importance of being kind and responsible pet owners. A big thank you to Mr Heatley for bringing Charlie to see us – we’re sure this will be a day Year 1 will never forget!
