The children have expressed an ongoing interest in cats. A wee while ago we purchased a number of cats from the $2 shop (where else does a kindergarten teacher shop!) to add to their play. The children carried them around individually and in their cat carry case. They were so popular that the children decided that a vet clinic was definitely needed to tend to their sick animals. That was duly built complete with examining table and xrays. As the interest deepened it was decided to call on the expertise of our friendly vet nurse, Heather. Heatherʻs children went to Botany Downs Kindergarten many, many years ago and Heather still comes in from time to time with interesting animals for the children to look at (see previous blog ... visit of the lambs). Heather told the children that she looks after animals who are unwell or who have had operations. Heather told us that she used to be a zoo keeper at the Auckland Zoo. On this ocassion Heather introduced us to Petey, the lop earred bunny. Heather, thank you for your contribution to our programme.
