Topic

This week the children will be learning all about what animals need to survive.  We will be talking about pets they have or pets friends or relatives have and what kind of care they need.  The children will watch various RSPCA clips that encourage them to think about what animals need to survive.
This week’s lesson lends itself to some interactive group work and discussion giving the children an opportunity to present their findings to the rest of the class.
Interesting fact – did you know that goats are extremely social creatures and hate being alone. Although they are herd animals, they tend to make special friends within the herd, and if they ever get separated they will cry and scream all day long until they are reunited!
