National Pet Month may be over, but responsible pet ownership should go on. In pursuit of this aim, the National Pet Month charity is inviting teachers to design and teach an innovative lesson that inspires pupils to look after and love their animals. The winner will receive #163;200 to spend on books for themselves and their class, as well as the chance to see their lesson plan published as a TES resource and on the new Pet Education Resources website.

How to enter

Submit your lesson plan with supporting material such as photos, videos or pupil feedback to info@nationalpetmonth.org.uk by 17 August. For more information see www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk.
