The students were able to check the vital signs of Ninja the cat and Nellie the dog. They also restrained the animals and were able to answer lots of questions about hazards and safety in the animal industry. Thank you to Mr & Mrs Hicks and Mr Hayes, for allowing the students to play with their precious animals.
