Animal Rehoming Centre
W/c 6th January 2020
We talked about how at Christmas Time many dogs and puppies are given as gifts without thinking about what keeping them involves. I showed the children an article from the R.S.P.C.A which told of how hundreds of these animals end up without a home and in their care.
What is the R.S.P.C.A?
A discussion followed where children shared their understanding.
2 Little Puppies were left at the School Office
Our discussion the previous day was overheard by someone and they left their 2 puppies for us to look after.

CHINESE NEW YEAR – Reception , Year 1 & Year 2
For two consecutive afternoons, children in Reception, Year 1 and 2 have worked together to learn about Chinese New Year. They worked collaboratively to make a spectacular Chinese New Year dragon which you will find in the school hall. They drew their own colourful Chinese dragons using pastels. They also made folded paper dragons and lucky money bags. We sang a Chinese New Year song and listened to the story of the Chinese New Year. There was a race across the river and the Chinese calendar was formed by the order in which the animals got across the river. This year it is the Year of the Rat. KUNG HEI FAT CHOi! (which means ‘Happy New Year’ in Chinese)

We quickly worked together to create a safe place to care for the kittens.

We have been sent twin puppies to look after as the puppies are sick and need our expertise care and attention.
Each child has created their own combination to unlock the safe and medication will be checked, counted and logged daily to ensure both the puppies are kept away from the medication for their own safety.
The children are using role play to administer medicine to the sick puppies. Through this they are developing an understanding of safe practices when using medication.
