Caring for animals: Strand 1-Learning about dogs

This first of four units of work which consists of Promethean information flip-chart pages, interactive activities, videos and worksheet activities to support learning builds on and promotes the development of a range of personal, social and practical skills in the context of learning about an animal of special interest to the student. In this unit we have focused on dogs.
As well as content knowledge, students develop essential skills such as those of communication and language; thinking and reasoning; labelling; classifying; comparison and inferring. Knowledge, skills and attitudes for life are developed through links with the community, creative projects, numeracy, communication and literacy.
