Animal group trip to Amanda's horses

                                                             So much gear!                                          
                                         Thanks Amanda and Gill for showing us around.
                                                                  

Wanaka Vets

The Wanaka Vets kindly showed the 'Animal' Group what happens at their Clinic.

We found out alot about how to treat animals, especially pet dental care, wounds and treatment at the vets.  Kanuka's wee kid goat had a bad eye, so Melissa brought it in to be checked.

 

 

 Beth found its eyelashes had grown into the eyelid and created another eyelid in defence, which was growing an ulcer on it.  She gave it some injections and cream to make it better.

                                             We were kindly given some biscuits for our dogs or
cats that are special dental treatment biscuits, we are also going to try and brush our pets teeth.

                                  Dogs need to see the vet's dental nurse too! They often need a scale and polish.

Reading with our 'Gran's!'

We just love our weekly visit from the Grans.  Every Thursday about 5 or 6 Grans from the
community come into school to read with children.  This week we had such a lovely sunny day we all sat outside in the sun.  We read to them and they read to us.  Most of all, we really enjoy talking and having a 'Gran' friend.
