Dear Mrs Jones
Did you know that Year 3 Red has a class pet? It’s a goldfish named
‘Chips’. Well, we, the students of Year 3 Blue, would like to get a class pet,
too.
We thought a lion would be a great class pet. They are cute and furry,
just like big kittens, really.
A lion could help us learn about Africa, because that is where they
come from. We could also learn a lot about caring for animals if we
had a class lion. We could measure its growth and the food it eats. We
could use it for creative writing ideas, weigh the meat it eats and vote
for things like what to name it. We would learn lots of first aid, too.

We think lions can make great pets. They are social and like to be with
others. They can be quite affectionate and won’t bite too often if we
feed them enough. They might cost a little bit to buy and feed. But they
can eat some of the scraps from our school meals. So they can help
us to reduce the amount of rubbish we make. They don’t smell bad like
some pets. And a lion could help keep robbers and thieves out of our
classroom on weekends.
We hope you can see that a lion would be a great addition to our class,
and that you will agree to get us one soon!
Year 3 Blue
