SPCA Visit

Our Term 1 Social Studies Inquiry is centred around the idea of being a responsible citizen.

What a fabulous morning we had today learning about how to be a responsible citizen when looking after animals. Richard and Courtney from the SPCA brought along Myrtle the dog and Vinnie, Trumpet and Junior the guinea pigs.

We found out that all animals need five things, just like people... shelter, love, food and water, exercise and vet care.

We loved hearing all the stories about the different animals and finding out how the SPCA help us here in Christchurch. We even found out we can join the Critters Club for free which gives you an interesting magazine twice a year which has loads of interesting information, stories, games and photos. We can tell some of our Kohara kids will be really keen to join this! We have added the link to the SPCA Canterbury page on the right hand side of our blog under 'useful links'. You can find details on how to join Critters Club on there under the 'get involved' section.
