PawSteps · Skill Workbook 5
Pick a skill to learn. No ages, no year groups — just the next thing you'd like to be able to do, one small step at a time, with the Pets on the Green animals.
Every animal is a lesson you've finished. There's no rush — collect them whenever you like.
Welcome to the Pets on the Green Skill Workbook 5: History & Writing. Every skill in this workbook is written as something your child can do — never a year group or age bracket. A child working at any level will only ever see what they're learning, not where they "should" be.
Each skill has three short lessons. Each lesson follows the same pattern: Read it (learn the idea), See how (watch a worked example step by step), then You try (three questions). Your child can work entirely on their own — just open it and hand it over.
There's no timer and nothing to fail. If an answer is wrong, the workbook says "not quite — have another go" and the question stays open. When all three questions are done, the next lesson opens automatically.
Every question is multiple choice — no writing needed at any point. The font and layout are chosen for clarity. There are no scores, no streaks and no pressure. If your child needs a break, the workbook saves their place automatically.
Between lessons, try a 60-second animal move: march like a Roman soldier, curl up like Gary the hedgehog, stretch your wings like Rosie the galah, or sway like an Egyptian boat on the Nile. It resets attention and links the learning to movement — a real benefit for SEND learners.
Writing a persuasive argument · Writing to describe · What the Romans left behind in Britain · Causes and effects in history · Planning a non-fiction text · Understanding Ancient Egypt. Each has three lessons with a worked example and self-marking questions.
The correct answer for every question is shown here so you can support your child without guessing.
Your child earns a printable certificate they can name themselves and you can display. They also collect animal stamps on a reward chart — one per lesson completed. There's no rush to collect them all.
