Children will first share what they remember about the plot and the characters within the story, before you read the book together again. After answering and discussing the questions on the slides, children move onto their independent activities, where they are challenged to match up answers to questions, choose the correct answer from multiple choices, and write their own answers to comprehension questions. The alternate activity suggested is a fun whole-class question and answer match-up game! I'm glad this resource is useful! Thanks for letting us know :) If you have any cuddly toy pets you could use these tags to add on prices: Be confident when speaking in a familiar group, talk about ideas, and choose the resources needed for the chosen activity.A young boy walks into a pet shop, a little brown rat is confident that he is much more interesting that the plethora of exotic animals this shop sells. Count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, say which number is one more or one less than a given number.

The Great Pet Sale - Mick Inkpen, Storybook, Pets, Sale

With resources to help with counting, roleplaying and writing, children will soon reap the benefits as they'll have a fun learning experience whilst developing their skills, both social and academic. What is The Great Pet Sale about? As a class, they will discuss what the shop was like, what animals they saw, and whether they bought an animal. Children will then use this information to complete a recount plan, using the provided structured sheet. In the alternative suggested activity, children are challenged to put themselves in the rat's shoes and improve a given recount plan of its day. Show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children.After recapping on what a recount is, you will look at an example as a class. Together, you will identify and discuss the features that the children need to use in their own writing, including time conjunctions, personal pronouns and past tense verbs. Using this information and their plans from the previous lesson, children will then write their own recounts of a trip to the pet shop. Use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. Thanks to Aimee Middleton (@AimeeSarah87) for pointing me in the direction of these two great stories (One is a Snail Ten is a Crab is below).The sign in the pet shop window says "Everything must go". "Everything" refers to an incredible assortment of animals from tiny terrapin at two pence each to a great big dragon for 25 pence. There's also a one-whiskered rat, a bargain for only a penny, who is determined to be bought.
