We have been lucky enough to be visited by some wonderful guide dogs and their handlers. We have learnt so much about their routines, commands and how they guide safely. The children enjoyed listening to the facts and asked some brilliant questions ๐Ÿฆฎ @RowParkAcademy

Year 2 were very concerned when they saw this poor, scared Orangutan โ€˜Bobโ€™, who had to escape the terrifying fires and deforestation in the Rainforest to find safety! Donโ€™t worry Bob - we are going to use your experience to write a show stopping narrative. โœ๏ธโœจ @RowParkAcademy
