It has been a very exciting couple of weeks here at BestStart Waltham Kindy. Tamariki have been helping to prepare Myrtle’s new tank and we have been discussing what safety rules we need to put in place to keep everyone safe. Tamariki have come up with three important rules; gentle hands with Myrtle, looking with our eyes, and if they do touch Myrtle they are to wash their hands after. Tamariki then made these rules visual and stuck them onto Myrtles tank. We all worked together to fill his tank and watched with excitement as he went for a dive for the very first time. Thank you to everyone who supported us in the fundraiser, we wouldn't have been able to do it without all your support! Myrtle is certainly loved and a very lucky turtle!
