A story teaching you that no matter how small and seemingly plain, you are just as interesting as a komodo dragon... Discuss exotic pets, make posters, paper chain snakes, playdough snakes, and junk model exotic habitats. After briefly recapping on children's predictions from the previous lesson, you will read the book together. 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. Use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. Look at pictures of pets in the past and compare with pictures of pets in the present, make pet portraits, collage of pets from the past, make a lead and tag for soft pet, listen and dance to old music.

The Great Pet Sale by inkpen-mick | Goodreads

Look after the newly arrived class pet, listen to a vet, discuss how vets help animals, role-play being a vet, weigh pets, measure out ‘medicine’ and bandage injuries. Talk about the features of the immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. 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! 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.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.
