NEWS FROM ETONBURY ACADEMY
Dogs Trust
The Dogs Trust spent two days with Etonbury pupils showing Year 5’s how to
care for their pet dogs. How to detect signs of sickness and key information
on your pets, how you should exercise your dog and different leads you need
to have. The Dogs Trust showed them how much food you need to feed your
dog and what type of food. This is what a year 5 said about the experience of
Dogs Trust’ it was really good and it was very interesting’

KS3 met Alistair Patrick-Heselton for a fitness session with him before
listening to his story in an assembly. Very inspirational. Alistair PatrickHeselton is a Paralympic footballer who suffered a serious head injury when
