Norton Canes Primary Academy met
Carol and her dog Florad

'

Year 2 at Norton Canes Primary Academy met Carol and her dog Flora for the first time in January this year. They were embarking on a project about seeing in the dark (nocturnal animals) and invited Carol and Flora in because the children were curious about what is was like to be blind and how blind people coped.

They were so inspired they decided to try and raise funds to help Carol look after Flora. 

Their aim was £260 - £10 per class member. As a class they decided to do a sponsored walk of 10 laps of the school field. One Child took it upon himself to raise a whopping £340 on his own by cycling around Chasewater. Another child sold his Christmas toys to raise £75. The grand total came to £800 and was presented to Carol and Flora today to give to the Guide Dog Association. The children were ecstatic to see Carol and Flora again. '
