This week a lady visited us from the SSPCA.  She had brought a bag full of equipment that she uses to save and rescue animals in need.  Some of us were lucky enough to try on some of her equipment.

Alesha wore a reflective jacket but we were told that the SSPCA Officers would never wear this jacket in a field of sheep or cows as the animals would be really scared.  Daniel had a go of a Seal Bag.  This bag would be put over a seal to keep it calm and then it would be carried in the bag to the SSPCA van.  There are holes in the bag for the seal to breathe.

Darryl was lucky enough to wear the climbing equipment.  This equipment would be used if the SSPCA Officers had to climb to rescue an animal from a tree or cliff.  Darryl really wanted to climb out the window and over the school roof but he wasn’t allowed!

Aiden was our Badger Catcher for the morning.  He had to use a special piece of equipment to catch the badger around its neck and then tighten it so it wouldn’t escape.  The badger was very fast but it couldn’t escape ‘Aiden the Badger Catcher’.

 

Hide and Tell Box

Daniel put a really interesting object in the Hide and Tell Box this week and was able to give us some clues about it.  Lots of good questions were asked in class to try and find out more information about the object and Darryl was the person who guessed it correctly.  Well done Daniel and Darryl.
