Brief.**

We are going to travel to S.P.C.A in Mangere with the help of Laura’s mum. We are going to ask for permission to play with the pets and help out at the before we plan when we are going. We feel we need to do this because the pets are more likely to be adopted if they are happy and cheerful. It will give them the best chance possible for getting a new home. We believe that animals are being mistreated in the pet shops and are not safe. Animals should be treated with respect just like people are treated with respect. We want to help the employees with their job and make it easier we also want to cheer up the animals ! We will phone different shops to see if we can help out.

Reflection.

Over the past eight weeks, we have been doing inquiry work. Our goal has been to help the community in some way by making something easier or better.

For our task we decided to help animals. We tried asking a few pet stores to see if we could help, but alot of them said no. We finally asked the S.P.C.A. if we could help out there in some way and they offered us a tour of the S.P.C.A. and learn some new stuff about animals and the animals that are special to the S.P.C.A. We also helped make the job easier for the people who work at the S.P.C.A. and made the animals more joyful by making toys for them.

We decided t do this because we think that in pet stores and other places like the S.P.C.A animals are not being treated right and dont seem to be happy all the time.

We thought that by helping out with the animals and the staff it would make things alot easier and it would make the animals have a more happy life. media type="custom" key="2683667"
