Teachers' Pack - KS1

Pets

The purpose of this Teacher’s Pack is to focus the attention of young children on the choice and care of their pets through a series of classroom discussions and activities. It is intended that teachers will select activities and discuss them with pupils, guiding them through the relevant sections. Notes on the activity sheets are in the text.

The PDF files, which we recommend for obtaining the best quality prints and for classroom use, require that you have Acrobat Reader on your machine. (If you don't have a copy, click here for a free download.) Some of these are quite large so the sizes of the files have been given.
