Dogwatch and Discovery

Today we had a special treat at lunchtime. Zack's mum Kelly works down at Dogwatch, and she brought a special furry friend Max along today and spoke to us all about the amazing work Dogwatch do. The Enviro club had invited her, as they are running a cupcake day in a few weeks to raise some money for Dogwatch and the SPCA.
It was great to hear important messages about caring for our dogs, such as making sure they've got food, shelter and water, giving them exercise, keeping them safe and contained at home, and giving them lots of love!! She also reminded us about how important it is to desex dogs so that there are not as many unwanted puppies.
Dogwatch do a fantastic job of taking in dogs and finding them a special forever home. Next time you are looking for a new furry friend make them your first stop!

It was also great to see wee Max who was very cute and very well behaved. He could do lots of tricks too! Like twirling, high fiving, and shaking hands.
Thanks so much Kelly for coming along today :)

Delicious Discovery!
This term as part of our Friday afternoon Discovery programme we are having groups of children involved in food technology sessions. So far the children have made waffles, donuts, stir fry noodles and yesterday it was time to get blender out and learn how to make berrynana smoothies. We measured out milk, added banana, natural yoghurt and frozen boysenberries. Most children thought the smoothies were very good and we had great feedback from the teachers we made one for. The children especially like being able to visit the staffroom for these sessions as they get to sit on the teachers chairs and use their very best manners.
