'Believe, Excite, Succeed, Together'

Our School Pet!

 Meet Mila...

Pupil voice

Our School Council asked their classes what they would like to make their school better. The most popular vote was a school pet. Before lockdown 2020, the children then voted for what type of pet they would like and they requested a tortoise. 

During the first week of term (September 2020) we met our new pet tortoise. The children voted for a name beginning with 'M' to complete our class and pet name using initials to make the word 'TEAM'. 

Responsibility

During the first term, we researched how to look after Herman Tortoises. This inlcuded what they eat, their habitats and how to care for them. 

Each week a new class is chosen to care for Mila. We have a special care guide to ensure that he is fed, his home is the correct temperature and that he has fresh, clean water. 

Pet therapy 

 Our children love to visit Mila and care for him. Sometimes if children are feeling anxious or sad, Mila helps to cheer them up.
