Focus Feature - DT and Art - "Pet Pigs" by Mrs Morgan
We left school in a hurry that Friday and went home…
What will I do with all this time at home? Easy, I thought, I would buy two guinea pigs.
By Sunday I had bought two little guinea pigs, then a cage, food, things for them to play with, a bowl, a water bottle and a run to put in the garden!
I then had a couple of messages…
Mr. Hirst had bought two Guinea pigs and Miss Blencowe had managed to acquire three! It looked like the creative department had a plan to beat the isolation blues (Mr. Harley told us his bees were enough).
I thought I would introduce you to the department pigs, they are keeping us occupied and we spend a lot of time texting each other to comment on the pigs and what they are doing...
Miss Blencowe owns these three: Mr Tibbles, PJ Chungus and Mango Mouse
Apparently, Miss Blencowe needs to have very serious names for her pets. You can tell she is a food teacher - her pigs are served their food properly!
Mrs Morgan’s piggys: Sugar and Cookie
Mr. Hirst owns these two: Bo and Jangles
