Today Paddy the greyhound and Steph from Animal Care came to visit Y2. As we have been learning about animals and their needs this half term Steph told us all about the 5 welfare needs from the Animal Act. 

  • need for a suitable environment
  • need for a suitable diet
  • need to be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns
  • need to be housed with, or apart, from other animals
  • need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Steph also told us never to touch a dog without asking permission from the owner first. We all practised this before patting Paddy
