YEAR 1

FROM THE CLASSROOM  

In Week 5, our Year 1 students had a wonderful time participating in the 'Responsible Pets' Incursion. They were excited to meet 'Ranger', a friendly 9-year-old Golden Retriever, and learn more about how to stay safe around dogs. Students explored how to interact safely and respectfully with pets and discovered what it means to be responsible and caring as pet owners. It was a fun and valuable learning experience for everyone!
