Thelma Page was deputy head of an Infant School. She has written a variety of resources and articles about Literacy, Maths and Science. Thelma is a puppy parent for Canine Partners, a charity that trains dogs to help people who use wheel chairs. The dogs learn to open doors, empty the washing machine and help with shopping, but the role of the puppy parent is much simpler: teaching the puppy where the toilet is, to listen, and not destroy anything. A lot like being an Infant teacher really!
