Fascinating Fact:

Guinea pig. Small, round body, short legs, squeaky sounds. Loves hay and veggie snacks.

In KS1 Science, children learn to identify pets by looking carefully at size, body shape, fur, ears, tails and sounds. Noticing these clues helps them name animals correctly and talk about caring for them.

Key Terms

Pet: An animal that lives with people and is cared for at home.
Features: The parts of an animal, like its fur, ears, tail or whiskers, that help us recognise it.
Rodent: A small mammal with sharp front teeth, such as a guinea pig or hamster.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How can KS1 children tell different pets apart?

Children can look at size, fur length, ear shape, tail shape and sounds. For example, a rabbit has long ears, while a cat has pointed ears and whiskers.

Which animals are common pets for children to learn about?

Common pets include cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and some birds. KS1 lessons help children name them and understand they all need kind, careful care.

Why is it important to recognise different types of pets?

Recognising pets helps children stay safe, show respect and give the right care. It also builds speaking, listening and science skills when they describe animals accurately.
