On Monday 17th October 2011, two special guests visited our class.  Their names were Mary and Ollie.  Ollie is Mary's friend and guide dog.

Mary is blind and leads a full and exciting life!  Ollie helps Mary to find her way around her local town.

Mary told us that she enjoyed playing bowls, going canoeing and taking part in lots of other sports.

We were all impressed with Mary's talking mobile phone, her talking watch and her coin dispenser.  We were also interested in listening to Mary explain how she chooses the clothes she has to wear for the day.

We learnt that it is important not to distract a guide dog when they are wearing their harness.
