This week we will be looking
at our instructional writing based on caring for farm animals. Please can you
spend this week talking about what is important to consider when you care for
farm animals. The following may be useful when doing this. We should:
* understand the animals’ physical and
behavioural needs
·
knowing how to provide the correct diet
·
being able to recognise signs of injury and
disease – this would mean checking the animals every day for sign of disease or
illness
·
knowing
how to prevent these and when to get veterinary
help
·
knowing how to handle the animals correctly and safely
·
knowing how to carry out day-to-day tasks e.g. cleaning their
shelter, providing clean water and food daily etc
·
provide enough space, the right type of land, housing and shelter, and
things to keep them interested and let them behave normally
·
consider using the correct type of fencing – they can’t escape or be
attacked by other animals
·
remember that most farm animals need to live in groups, which means
keeping at least two animals of the same species which get on well together
·
Farm animals often need regular visits from a vet for things like
vaccinations, health checks and
emergency care
The children could talk about one farm animal in particular and discuss
how they would make sure all of the above are met.
