Here are a few pics of the activities we did.













Our Cute Visitor

We are so lucky to have fur visitors to our class on the odd occasion. Today is was 5 week old Frankie. He was abandoned by his mother and has to wear the cutest little knitted jersey to keep warm as he is no longer with his mum or siblings.
Lisa and Jamie will teach Frankie to socialise with other people and dogs. Basic commands like sit and say. He will be up for adoption when he is 14 weeks old.

Spelling, reading and maths homework will go ahead as usual. If you have any questions please come in and see Mrs Duff.
Thank you for your support and understanding while I recover.
Yours Faithfully
Nicola Finlayson
