Today we had Paula visit us from the Dogs Trust based in Coleraine. Paula held an assembly this morning with all the pupils and made her way around the school visiting the classes and sharing lots of information about dog behaviours, keeping safe around dogs and caring for your own dog or one belonging to a family member or friend. Paula shared lots of tips and the children enjoyed meeting her teddy bear dogs during role play scenarios and explanations. Paula also talked about the importance of rescuing dogs which have been abandoned by their owners or end up in dog shelters and how big a difference a caring home can make. Children from P4 upwards wrote a promise they will keep to their own dog or a dog that they will meet. Thank you Paula ?
