PLHS - Support for Learning

Sadly, today we have to bring news of the passing of one of the most important members of the Enhanced Learning Programme team, Fingers the goldfish.

Fingers was a focal point for our learning and brought so much to our weekly life at Preston Lodge

• we have gained important life skills through feeding him, cleaning his tank and remembering the importance of routine
• we have grown more organised through planning his maintenance schedule ourselves - and sticking faithfully to it
• we have found out more about fish, their physiology (they have gills and not lungs like us) and their diet
• we have investigated how fish play an important part in the food chain
• we have explored the use of fish in an healthy balanced diet
• he has simply been our friend

So it is time to say a sad goodbye to Fingers this afternoon - we will choose how to say farewell appropriately ourselves.

Whilst, perhaps, after the October holidays we will think about making a trip to the Aquarium shop…Dr Voge will be lonely without a finned friend and us to interupt his particle Physics!
