We had great fun listening to the policeman talk about his job and all the different things he does.  It was great to be able to try on some of his equipment!  Many thanks for visiting P1 !

Thank you to the lovely vet and vet nurse from Animals First in Macmerry who visited our P1 class with Libby the black Labrador.  We loved learning about the job of a vet.  We had a chance to listen to Libby’s heartbeat and look in her ears. She was so calm and happy to meet us.  A lot of us want to be vets now!  Thank you again to the wonderful staff at Animals First.
