Waggy Wednesday

Oliver is a registered Pets as Therapy Dog, owned by our librarian Mrs Bowles.  He comes into the school library every Wednesday as part of the Read2Dogs programme, to provide comfort and add to the enjoyment of reading.Research shows that young people can become nervous and stressed when reading to others in a group. However, when a PAT Dog enters the group, they often become less stressed, less self-conscious and more confident as the dogs are non-judgemental. AS you can see both Oliver and the children are enjoying the reading experience.
