Royal Army Veterinary Corps visit Years 3 and 4
The RAVC provides, trains and cares for mainly dogs and Years 3 and 4 were fortunate enough to meet Grace, who is a four year old cocker-spaniel who is trained to find explosives.
Year 3 and 4 learnt about the training and how the dogs are looked after and even had a demonstration where Grace found an item hidden in the hall (it wasn't an explosive device!) It was a great experience for our pupils who asked many questions and were enthralled by Grace's speed in finding the hidden item and how her handler had such good control of directing Grace to search all sorts of items.
