April-We have been learning, exploring and discussing the vet.

What is a vet? A vet is an animal doctor, he/she takes care of our animals.

Why do we take our animals there? We take our animals to the vet if they are sick or hurt. Sometimes our animals are sick. Sometimes they are hurt and they need an x-ray to check if they have any broken bones. Sometimes they need their vaccinations.

What happens when we go there? The vet examines our pets and tells us what is wrong with them. The vet might have to take an x-ray and might have to give medicine to our pets.

When we are at the vet, the pets usually go a bit crazy, sometimes they are just excited and sometimes they may be scared.

We learned lots of new information and we had lots of fun also. The children made an x-ray machine and a dog carrier box at junk art. The children played the role of the vet, the nurse, the patient (dog) and the pet owner. The children made lots of cool pet stuff with play doh!
