On Thursday, May 3rd an SSPCA officer called Jenny came in to class to talk to us about how to keep pets healthy and happy. We really enjoyed her talk and the game we played afterward. We learned a lot from her, including what to do if we see an animal in danger or in distress in the community.
Yesterday Mrs Pearce happened to be in such a situation. Whilst walking along the River Esk in Musselburgh she spotted a very young cygnet all alone being attacked by a crow and a seagull. Thinking about what we had learned from Jenny, Mrs Pearce dialled 03000 999999 (the SSPCA number) and asked for help. She then went into the river as it was a shallow, safe area and rescued the little cygnet. The SSPCA officer who happened to turn up to collect it was Jenny! She said that we could call and find out how he/she is doing in a few weeks time!
Jenny, thanks for coming to our school and for doing such a special job!
Thats quite funny that it was jenny who came and got the poor little bird,what type of bird was it again ?!

Hi Lauren, it was a cygnet, a baby swan. It was very coincidental that Jenny came to get him. Shall I phone tomorrow to find out how he’s getting on? Are you all ready with lots of ideas for our eco fashion design project?
Mrs Pearce x

Hello Lauren and Aimee,
I hope you are enjoying the long weekend! A class pet would be nice, wouldn’t it? However, we only have four weeks of school left, so maybe you would be happy with me bringing in two of my guinea pigs? What do you think?
Mrs Pearce
