The group had specifically asked if I could bring in another animal, so I borrowed a colleague's tortoise and we watched it scoot about the floor for a while. Before I gave out the poetry templates, I issued the children with colour charts like this one so they could gauge the exact shades on the tortoise. For a warm-up, I'd asked them to think of processes in nature which happened very slowly, the sort of thing you could only see properly if you used time-lapse photography, so they were already in a poetic frame of mind.
