How do you look after a pet?

As the entry point to the 'Carnival of Animals' topic, the Key Stage One children got to meet some real life pets. Three different animals visited our school: a rabbit, two guide dog and two turtles.
The children had to ask the visitors questions which would help them find out about how to take care of a pet.

The children then had the opportunity to work with a Nintendo DS on the Nintendo Dog game. In small groups, the children looked after a pet dog. They had to feed, clean, exercise, train and generally take care for the dog. The children showed that they had the right skills, knowledge, care and understanding to be a successful pet owner.

It was a fun day at Wardley Primary School we were learning about pet's and we looked at three pet's, two Turtles two guide Dog's and a Rabbit.

I liked the dogs visiting because they were really cute.
