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

To enjoy a story, discuss ideas and make predictions. Talk with confidence about their own experiences.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. Discuss exotic pets, make posters, paper chain snakes, playdough snakes, and junk model exotic habitats. Listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what is heard with relevant comments, questions or actions.

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.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.
