Primary lesson plans (ages 5-11)

The primary section of Schools PDSA supports themes from the Science, PHSE and Citizenship curricula.

Pupils work their way through each of the three sections by completing games and quizzes about responsible pet care. After each game they can choose from a range of PetCasts (video clips) to watch.

There is also the opportunity to download PDSA pet care sheets, a certificate to print out and a Pet Charter to sign, designed to help children understand that having a pet is a big responsibility.

Each area is supported by lesson plans, assessment sheets and an Introducing PDSA PowerPoint presentation. Please click on the relevant link below:

• Pet Scientists (Ages 5-7)
• Pet Health (Ages 7-9)
• Pet Teams (Ages 9-11)
