To extend what we have learnt at The Animal Classroom, the children were encouraged to share ideas they had for the next part of the project. We decided on creating posters to spread awareness about being a responsible pet owner!
“Look! I drew the food bowl and this one is the water for the cat.”, ”We need to show care and protect the animals!”
The children created posters to remind others of the importance of being a responsible pet owner. Sheets of paper slowly filled with colourful drawings - dogs wagging their tails, cats curled up in cozy beds, and fish swimming in sparkling blue water. Their hands move with care, as if they understand that their drawings hold meaning beyond the classroom walls. Every crayon mark becomes a gentle reminder: pets are not toys, but living beings that need our love, attention, and respect.
Some children coloured scenes of feeding their pets, others decorated moments of play or cleaning up after them. As the children created their posters, we observed empathy, understanding, and a sense of duty—qualities that form the foundation of true responsibility.
It was inspiring to witness how these young learners express such awareness through creativity. When they shared about keeping pets safe or making sure they have enough food, they are practicing the language of kindness and compassion.
We hope that through the posters, more people in our community will practice responsible pet ownership and show care to the small animals around us. The posters may fade over time, but the lessons behind them will remain—lessons about empathy, care, and the importance of looking beyond oneself! 🐶🐱🐰🩷
