Garelochhead P5/4 to the Rescue!!

Pupils in P5/4 welcomed Bill Jennison of SARD to their class. He is a training officer with the Search and Rescue Dog Association. His talk was so interesting, he was almost overwhelmed with ‘searching’ questions from the class. Olivia played the part of the casualty and Jamie proudly wore the coat of the search and rescue dog. Pupils now have a really good understanding of the intensive training and testing a dog must undertake to play such a vital role in helping those in danger on the mountains. The visit tied in nicely with recent literacy work. Bill has just written a book about his life and children are now more enthused and excited about their own writing.
