Squirtle The Turtle

I see the beautiful patterns on turtles shell. I also see the turtles wobbly legs shaking. 

I hear it's sharp nails scratching against the container. I also hear the grass making a different noise as the turtle crawls. 

I smell the yuck smell of the left over water in the container. I also smell the fresh air as it refreshes me. 

I feel the hard shell that protects the turtle. I also feel a little bit scared to touch it. 

I wonder what kind of turtle species he is?

Meet Squirtle

On Thursday the 7th of September. A group of students looked at Mrs Brass' turtle who is called Squirtle. We were looking at it because we are learning to add more detail into our stories by describing using our 5 senses. See, hear, feel, touch, smell, and taste. We are also learning to conclude our stories with an I wonder statement. We got to take Squirtle for a walk out on the grass. We learnt a lot about him and his species of turtle. Afterwards we went inside and wrote about Squirtle.
