Weekly Vocabulary Challenge ‘Baby Animals’

Date: 4th May 2020 @ 8:28am

Describe the Baby Animals Weekly Challenge

I bought this book from Home Bargains last week for you. I know how much you like animals.  You might have some animals like these at home. We call them pets. I haven’t got any pets but if I did, I’d love to have a dog. Dogs are silly and they like cuddles, which is a bit like me! Tell your grown up what you know about pets. How do you look after them?

Watch and listen to the Show Me Video and join in pointing to the words as I read the story. You’ll need your listening ears too because I’m going to ask you lots of questions.
