Community planned partnership is alive and well at St Joseph’s in Helensburgh. Throughout the academic session all classes will be involved in planning their IDL studies in conjunction with a community partner. This term both P1 and P3 involved the partnership of the local Dog Groomer as they each approached the study of ‘Pets’ at a basic and more advance level respectively.
P1 also went down to the Dog Groomer’s salon and had the opportunity of blow drying a dog whilst they watched Mrs McGrath, the Dog Groomer, at work. Mrs McGrath then came up to school to give a more advance input to P3 outside in the outdoor classroom. Much excitement was had by all as the children gleaned fascinating facts about keeping pets clean, hygienic and groomed!
