This is Sandi, our school therapy dog, who comes in on Mondays to meet some of our children. Some of the benefits of animal assisted therapy include:
*Improve motor skills
*Improved balance
*Increased focus and attention
*Increased self-esteem, self- confidence
*Reduced anxiety, grief and isolation
*Increased trust, empathy
*Greater self-control
*Improved social skills

This year the School Council have decided to raise money for her owner to help cover her insurance costs. We will be having a school disco with a tuck shop of Friday 25th October for all children and the money raised will go towards this.
