Activities in this teaching pack include a table display card to suggest answers to key questions to describe an unusual animal that might be kept as a pet by a family and a template to collect and record notes that can be used to describe the appearance and behaviour of an unusual pet animal.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to record notes that can be used to describe an unusual animal that might be kept as a pet by a family.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate sentence structures and vocabulary words used in stories with familiar settings, practise spelling words with common endings and use adjectives to write expanded noun phrases. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
