Slow day? No way!

Contrary to popular belief, turtles are not slow. I witnessed this first hand in Piwakawaka this afternoon. Donna Moot visited with a number of turtles and kept the class enthralled with her stories and descriptions. The turtles were of various shapes and sizes with a range of 'problems' that led them to being in Donna's care. It was wonderful to hear how knowledgeable the students were about turtles and the issues with caring for them. They also asked intelligent questions. A reporter from The Press had been invited by some students and he showed up and took a good deal of photos so hopefully we will see some of these in the paper soon.
