What an exciting first week back after half-term!
The spooky disco was very popular on Tuesday evening. The whole class attended and looked fantastic in their costumes.
We were very privileged to receive a visit from Mr Buckley and his guide dog, Diesel on Wednesday. The children were really respectful to Diesel who was hoping for a huge fuss from them all, which did come at the end.
Mr Buckley explained that since this German shepherd dog has come into his life, it has transformed his life. Before this, he had to get around with a white cane and life was much harder. There are less than 4,000 guide dogs in the UK and yet there are around 340,000 people registered blind or partially sighted. This year, 1300 puppies will start their journey to become a guide dog. It costs £29 per hour of specialist training, and we feel this is very deserving of further recognition and support.
Please consider making donations directly to the charity Donate to Charity Online | Guide Dogs
In school, we are holding a Name The Puppy competition and will have a non- uniform day this Monday - 4th November. Children do not need to pay to arrive in non-uniform, but we will accept cash donations as this is a charity organisation and so we're hoping to raise over £200 in school to help with this amazing work.
