becoming very familiar with key stories, fairy stories and traditional tales, retelling them and considering their particular characteristics Talk about the features of the immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. In this final lesson, children will use their knowledge of the events in the book, The Great Pet Sale, to write a recount of an imagined trip to the pet shop. The story is full of wonderful opportunities for developing mathematical thinking and the maths box I have put together is well worn! I have used it in maths activities and lessons with children from Foundation Stage to Y4 in a variety of ways – at the beginning of lessons to set the context for work with money, in the main part of the lesson using the ‘pets’ for differentiated money or problem solving activities and in plenaries as a novel summary of the mathematical thinking in the lesson. I have linked the ideas with play opportunities in a class ‘pet shop’ or ‘vets’ in the role-play area. Bring in your toy pets to join the class pet show, award rosettes for different reason, choose your favourite pet, draw your pet’s favourite food on a paper plate ready for the final picnic, read the thank you letter from the girl in the story.

Discuss exotic pets, make posters, paper chain snakes, playdough snakes, and junk model exotic habitats. Show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children. 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! A story teaching you that no matter how small and seemingly plain, you are just as interesting as a komodo dragon... Begin to understand that animals are different (e.g. reptiles and mammals) and need different things.

Children are encouraged to share both their opinions and understanding of the story, before retelling it in their independent activities, with the aid of picture prompts. In the alternative activity suggested, children show their understanding of the story through writing a book review. I'm glad this resource is useful!
