Well, as most of you would have seen yesterday morning Bonnie finally got to make her first appearance at the centre.
Like all of our “new starts” she is on a settling in period just now and in line with her risk assessment is meeting small groups of children, in separate bubbles at a time.
Yesterday Bonnie met all of the Magnificent Minibeasts and she had a ball!
The children have been learning all about nurture and how you would care for different living things such as babies, plants and, of course, animals on the run up to her arrival.
Bonnie joined in at group time for her first day, and listened well to the children’s ideas of what she needs to make her feel happy, loved and cared for. Some of the children even had a wee turn at telling her to sit – she showed off and gave a paw, so obviously got rewarded with a wee treat 🙂
Adam – dog food and treats
Emily C – water
Layla – walks and a lead
Ayla C – poop bags because if you don’t it goes on your shoes
Abi – cuddles
Harry – a bed
While Bonnie was here she thoroughly enjoyed exploring in both of our outdoor areas and can’t wait to get back to the ECC to spend some time with the Sea Creatures.
