OSTMA Turtles is a fun class for both parent and child to take part in .
It’s incredibly rewarding for the parents to watch their child grow, learn, achieve and hone new skills, all whilst gradually becoming more independent in preparation for life ahead.
Rewarding the children for their continual achievements is paramount within the OSTMA Turtles sessions and certificates, stickers and reward stars are constantly given for all the skills gained and a special medal is awarded at the end of each class to one child per class as “student of that class”. This medal is kept for one week allowing that child to present their achievement to friends, family and within school.
