Our Class Assembly

On the 16th of July we did an assembly on guide dogs. We introduced Mrs Weaver and her guide dogs Tex (Tracker's brother) and Maxie. Maxie has retied and is now Mrs Weaver's dog. All the year three classes have done cake sales to raise money for the guide dogs and in total we raised £341 so far. Class 1 still hve their cake sale to do tomorrow. Some people got the chance to stroke the dogs. To find out more, please look at our assembly PowerPoint above.

Guide Dogs Visit

Some guide dogs came into our school on the 28th April 2008. The dogs' names are Maxie, who is a retired guide dog and Tracker, who is a training guide dog puppy. All guide dogs help blind people do all sorts of things like walking, running, and shopping. Guide dogs have special coats and harnesses to show that they are working. You should not disturb a guide dog when they are working.
Mrs Weaver is a guide dog puppy walker. She takes dogs on trains, buses and cars to get them used to the sounds. Usually they are scared of the sound when they are a puppy.
