The lesson

Animals can be sorted into three groups. There are wild animals, farm animals, and pets.

Wild animals live in nature, not with people. They find their own food every day. They build their own homes, like nests or dens.

Farm animals like cows, sheep, and hens live with farmers.
Try it together

Mia has a pet cat named Whiskers. She feeds him and gives him a warm bed. People take care of their pets every day.

Good to know

If you see a wild animal, stay back and watch. Never try to touch or feed it.

Sort animals into wild, farm, or pet groups. Always watch wild animals from far away.
