You could always contact my old school (local to you). They do French every week, and one of the teachers speaks fluent French - I'm sure he's be happy to speak to you on the phone and give you some ideas.

We teach French to the infants in our school, the Primary French site is really good:

 

If you click on primary French 2 there's a section on Pets (and a song!) Here's the link:

I also have a really good French song book that I use with my class called Singing French published by AC Black. I think it's meant for Juniors but I've taught some of them to my Reception class and they love them!
