Our Unusual Visitor

On Thursday Norticus the turtle visited us for the day. He used to belong to Ms Steel in Room 22, but she is off to China so now he belongs to Jeannie (one of our teacher aides).

Norticus is a Red-eared Slider. He is native to southern parts of America and is the most popular pet turtle in the world. He eats meat, plants and fish but his favourites are turtle sticks and shrimp. He can be pretty quick when he needs to be and he will hiss at you if you bother him to much! We loved having him for the day. Hopefully he will visit again soon.
