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. Think of reasons why their pet is special and explain these to the class using an expanded sentence. A story teaching you that no matter how small and seemingly plain, you are just as interesting as a komodo dragon...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. Discuss exotic pets, make posters, paper chain snakes, playdough snakes, and junk model exotic habitats. The above video may be from a third-party source.

Count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what they hear with relevant comments, questions or actions.

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.

most obvious of these is that the total value of all the pets for sale in the shop is one pound. This means it can be used as a starting point for money activities with children working with money up to the value of a pound. listening to and discussing a wide range of poems, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently participate in discussion about what is read to them, taking turns and listening to what others say To enjoy a story, discuss ideas and make predictions. Talk with confidence about their own experiences.Wonder at a surprise egg, think about good/bad pets in response to a letter from the little girl in the story I Want a Pet, set up a pet shop role-play area with posters and pet food. Listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what is heard with relevant comments, questions or actions.

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. 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:If you are looking for more pet-related resources, you might also be interested in our Year 1 Science scheme, Pets and Gardens. A little boy goes to a pet sale (where all the pets are so reasonably priced!) to find the perfect animal. He meets a rat first who pesters him throughout the story to buy him as the perfect pet. 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.
