A complete, ready-to-use teaching and assessment package designed to introduce beginner pupils to key language for talking about pets and animals and to assess their progress throughout the topic.

The teaching materials provide structured practice and opportunities for pupils to apply the language independently, building confidence in describing pets, expressing opinions and communicating about animals. The assessment materials allow you to evaluate pupils’ learning and progress across the topic.

The summative assessment covers key skills including vocabulary recall, reading comprehension, translation and extended writing. A clear, detailed mark scheme supports accurate and consistent marking, while the End of Unit Self Assessment encourages pupils to reflect on their progress, identify strengths and next steps, and take ownership of their learning.

Ideal for classroom teaching, homework, independent learning, revision, catch-up work and assessment.

Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, however these resources are also fully editable so that you may make amendments and adapt as necessary for your classroom needs.
