On Tuesday afternoon we will have a very special visitor coming to meet the children in Room 1.  Skippy, a newly-born orphaned lamb, will be popping into school with Mrs Will’s father who is a crofter.  We are delighted to have the opportunity to learn more about Spring lambs and to see Skippy getting bottle-fed.  We are also going to have the opportunity to pet our very friendly lamb and learn more about life on a small croft.

In terms of health and safety, an extensive risk assessment has been carried out and is available for you to look at if you require.  We will wash our hands thoroughly, both before and after the visit, and the children will have a discussion about staying safe and looking after the lamb prior to her visit.  If you would like to see a copy of the Risk Assessment that has been carried out, please speak to Mrs Will for a copy.

Although we have a record in school of all pupil allergies, please can you inform us, in writing, if your child is allergic to straw, hay or animals.  Likewise, if you would prefer your child not to touch the lamb, please let Mrs Will know before Tuesday afternoon.

We will take lots of photographs of our exciting afternoon, so be sure to come back and visit our class blog to see them.
