Hi I’m Herbie. I’m the school dog at Barnes Primary. My job is to help Polly look after all the children and notice when they are sad or worried. You will see me mainly in KS2 but I do sometimes visit KS1. I love visiting the different classrooms but Polly and I have our own room next to Year 6. This is good because my biscuits are in there. I’m allowed into assemblies and Miss Jepson’s office as long as I am quiet and well behaved.
I’m ready to help with any problem but sometimes I just like to sit quietly with someone until they feel better. A few children don’t like dogs and that is fine. If they let Polly know we will keep our distance.
My main hobbies outside school are chasing tennis balls and swimming. I’ve been at Barnes Primary for 7 years now. I first came to the school when I was 3 months old – have a look at my puppy picture. I’m a very lucky dog and I love my job.
