Hawthorn Class Year 2 & 3 at Parklands Primary School, Chichester
have been busy over the last month since staff from Pet Doctors
Veterinary Clinics Chichester invited the children to enter their
competition to “make a worm”!
During October, Pet Doctors
supported the Big Wiggly campaign. The purpose of this campaign
was to educate pet owners on the importance of regular worming and flea
treatment for their pets and on the dangers of Toxocara which can be
passed from pets to children. The campaign was fronted, and
supported by, Kim & Aggi from “How Clean is your House”.
On Thursday, Shani White, veterinary nurse, who came up with the
competition idea, and Tiekie van Tonder, veterinary surgeon, both from
Pet Doctors, Chichester went along to the school to judge the entries
and present the prizes to the winners. “The children had worked
very hard. We had a variety of worms to judge from, made out of
all sorts of different materials,” said Shani. “It was very hard
to pick a first and second prize winner!”
Prize winners were presented with goodie bags containing cuddly toys, bathtime toiletries and a book.
As a consolation prize, all the children received a T-shirt and some wiggly worm sweets and the class was given a Wormery.
