Gemma, The Dogs’ Trust Education and Community Officer for Hertfordshire, came to visit Year 6 this week!
Gemma delivered workshops on “Dogs in War”. Year 6 learnt about how owners of pet dogs struggled during the war because of difficulties: food rationing made food for dogs scarce; air raid shelters did not allow dogs inside; and when families were evacuated they had to leave their dog behind.
Year 6 also learned about ways they could help their dogs today, including: having a microchip to help their dog get back home if they are lost; providing a safe place for dogs to go to when they are scared, for example during fireworks.
We are looking forward to welcoming them back in January when they will be coming in to visit KS1.
