Turtle Reports

Recently we read about a hurt Turtle called Toby who had been rehabilitated at Kelly Tarltons.  We became interested in learning more about Turtles so we wrote Turtle Reports. We talked about having an introduction and then organising our research into paragraphs with sub headings before ending with a conclusion.

Turtles by Amy

Turtles are marvellous ocean swimmers and they are also reptiles who spend most of their time in the water.

Habitat:

Turtles live in almost every ocean basin throughout the world, nesting  on tropical and subtropical beaches. They migrate long distances to feed, often swimming over an entire ocean. Adults of most species are found in shallow, coastal waters, bays, lagoons and estuaries.

Food:

Depending on the species, sea turtles may be carnivores  (meat eating), herbivores (plant eating) or omnivores (eating both meat and plants). The jaw structure of many species is adapted for their diet.

Turtles are awesome swimmers. Toby is a sick turtle who has been cared for at Kelly Tarltons. He will soon be released back to his own habitat, the sea, because he is better.
