Shelter Box

2 Comments

On Thursday we had a visit from Dennis and Andrew from The Rotary club. They were telling us all about Shelter Boxes. These boxes get sent to countries that are less fortunate than us. Quite often these countries have had natural disasters or man made disasters such as civil wars. Families can lose their homes for lots of reasons, sometimes they have to leave their homes and other times their homes might be destroyed.

The shelter boxes have everything they need to survive. Some of the items in the box are: A tent that sleeps 12, tools, pots and pans, a stove, scarf and gloves if it’s a cold country, rope, sleeping bags, water bottles, tablets to decontaminate the water and colouring pencils and paper.

It was very interesting to find out all about the boxes and what the are for.

SSPCA

2 Comments

Inspector Sales from the SSPCA came in to visit us yesterday. SSPCA stands for Scottish Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She came in to speak to us about animal cruelty and how people should be looking after their animals. She told us what would happen if someone didn’t treat their animals or pets right. If the SSPCA were called about someone not treating their animals well they could be fined, go to jail and be stopped from keeping any animals for a certain length of time.

At the end we got to play a game. In the game we had to answer questions to move our animals around the board. They were True or False questions all about animals.

We really enjoyed playing the game and we also got pencils, stickers, a magnet and a sticker for a window.

It was a very interesting visit!
