Earlier this year, we had a visit from Ellie and her owner Mrs Wilson. Mrs Wilson is a volunteer for Guide Dogs UK which is a charity for the blind and partially sighted. Year 8 had an assembly which explained more about the charity and the work Guide Dogs do all around the country. 7M took part in a classroom based workshop where they got to meet Ellie, a golden retriever, and hear all about her story and how Mrs Wilson became Ellie’s owner. We are looking forward to welcoming Ellie and Mrs Wilson back into school to do workshops with the other Year 7 classes throughout the year.

Year 7 have also been hosting bake sales over the past few weeks to help raise funds for Guide Dogs UK which links to their English topic on Animal and Man. We are pleased to say that we have raised nearly £300 which we are hoping to donate to Guide Dogs UK.
