## Bayley the Brilliant Dog

Hi,

I am Bayley and am currently training to become a therapy dog. I come into school once a month but hope once I've trained I can come in every week.

Part of my role in school will be to support children's emotional wellbeing through reading, walking and talking. In time I also hope to help children who are nervous of dogs.

     For our inset day all staff at Upton Infant School had the great pleasure of looking at 'happiness' through the eyes of Andy Cope. Take a look at just a few and you will find ways of thinking about everything differently.
