Today there was lots of excitement in the school because Miss Tuke brought her dog Amos in to visit the classes. P1 had been learning about pets so he was coming in to see them and Miss Tuke would talk about how to look after a dog. The P1 boys and girls enjoyed learning about Amos, getting to stroke him and ask questions. Miss Tuke then took him to other classes for a talk about being responsible dog owners and how to be with dogs they meet outside. Again the boys and girls were so enthusiastic to learn about Amos and share what they knew. They all enjoyed stroking him and giving him cuddles. Amos is a very calm dog and this helped even the boys and girls who are usually a little bit scared of dogs to feel safe and enjoy the visit too. He had a great calming effect for some children who can find it hard to concentrate. Amos and Miss Tuke hope the boys and girls can take what they learnt and share it with doggy owners at home.
