Story of the week: The Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson
This week we are going to be looking at the characters, setting and events in the story. This will then help us to retell the story using homemade props.
What do we mean when we say character? Setting? Events?
Talk to your adult about these:
Character = Who is in the story. The people/animals in the story
Setting = Where the story is set
Events = What happens in the story
Retell the story.
To join in with this week’s creative activities, you will need the following items. Hopefully, these are items you will find in your home.
• Paper OR card and colouring pencils
• Sticks from outside OR a collection of spoons (they can be re-used afterwards)
• Sticky tape
Perhaps if you are going outside for a walk today, you could collect some sticks.

We have learnt these teen numbers.
Describe them to your adult. “Twelve is one ten and two more.”

Measure your bed. “How many…long is your bed?”
“How many…wide is your bed?”
Try again with different objects.

Today we are going to have a go at estimating. Estimating is when we roughly count the number of objects we can see.
Put some objects out in front of your child (you may
want to use a towel to cover them up until you are ready to reveal the objects). Give your child a few seconds to look at the objects and ask them to estimate how many they can see.
Take turns and continue to do this a few times changing the amount of objects each time. Ask questions e.g. is it more or less than last time? How do you know?

Say how many spiders are on the 10 frames. Don’t count-use your subitising skills!
