Hello Year 1! Sut wyt ti?

See if you can do the actions too!

 

 

2.  Look at the picture below:

She blinked her sleepy eyes as she took in her first sights of the world around her. With an almighty effort she pushed back her legs, breaking away another tiny fragment of her shell.

Soon, she would be free. Soon, she would have to tackle her next enormous challenge. It wasn’t going to be easy. Her epic journey was only just beginning…

 

The first moments of a turtle's life are critically important for its survival chances. Why do you think this is the case?

Why is it that  turtles lay their eggs on the beach?

Can you think of any other animals that live in the water and on the land?

 

Challenge- Soon, the turtle will enter the ocean. Can you draw or describe the moment when the turtle first reaches the water?

 

 

3. Let's do some EGGsercise! 

Let's do the Joe Wicks workout live at 9am. Listen out to see if Waun Wen get a shout out! It's even fancy dress day. Who's going to wear their favourite fancy dress outfit?
