How To keep Safe Around Dogs


Last week Todd and Leanna from The North Shore City Council came and talked to us about how to be safe around dogs.
We learnt that:
• We should stand like a tree if a dog comes up to us and we are scared.
• We shouldn’t stare at dogs and show our teeth.
• We should ask the dog’s owner before we pat it.
• We should pat it gently under it’s chin and not on it’s head.

The children wrote poems about being safe around dogs and drew the pictures on KidPix.
Listen to Jaz, George, Cindy and Liam’s poems:


These poems are by Max, Aidan, Georgia and Herbert:


Listen to Christina, Jerome, Angela and Gabriel’s poems:

  5. I learnt that you need to stand like a tree when a strange dog comes up to you and don't stare at the dog. You should stand still and you can shut your eyes. Sometimes they do something to you like move you and sometimes they do something else!
