Dog Safety

Today we were very lucky to have Wayne from Dog Control come into school to educate they children (and adults) how to be safer around dogs.

We learnt what  to do when approaching a friend or family members dog. We also learnt about not approaching dogs we do not know and not  put dogs in a position where they are only left with one next option and that is a bite. 

Wayne gave a very instructional and interactive lesson about dog safety, and he even brought his dog Mate for us to try out some of our new dog safety tips. After, we got to see Mate doing some tricks for us. 

We continued with our dog safety related theme that afternoon by watching a video about dog safety. You can watch the video by clicking here.

We have an activity sheet, which we can take home, with all the tips we learnt today. We also have some board games to play in class focusing on dog safety. 

Thank you very much Wayne for taking the time to give the children this fantastic tips!  You can test your children on what they have learnt today by taking the online quiz here.
