School Therapy Rabbits: Sonny & Storm
Welcome to the newest members of the Lealands family: Sonny and Storm, our delightful therapy rabbits!
Residing with KS3 Team Leader, Mrs. Strachan, these caring and well-behaved Flemish rabbits bring a touch of warmth and companionship to our school community. Born in January 2024, Sonny and Storm possess the perfect temperament to become invaluable assets to Lealands. Known for their child-friendly nature, lively spirit, and gentle demeanour, these rabbits offer demonstrable affection and sensitivity, coupled with outstanding trainability. But their role goes beyond mere companionship. Sonny and Storm serve as educators, teaching our students vital life lessons in responsibility, patience, compassion, and socialisation.
With a keen sense for stress and anxiety, they provide comfort and alleviate negative feelings, benefiting both physical and mental well-being. Their presence is especially beneficial for students with disabilities, fostering a sense of calm and aiding in their integration within the school environment. As we welcome Sonny and Storm into our midst, we anticipate their positive impact on our students' abilities and overall well-being, ultimately contributing to improved attendance levels and a more nurturing school environment. Join us in embracing these adorable additions to our school family and witness the transformative power of their presence first hand.
