Arthur’s Paper Pack: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 4. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

scenery: The background and objects used to show a place in a performance.
exchanged: Swapped for something with the same value.
available: Ready to be used.
scraps: Small pieces left after cutting or using something.
rehearsal: A practice before a performance.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, the method the characters tried and the evidence that their solution worked. Use place-value materials or drawings for 152. Exchange one ten for ten ones, then one hundred for ten tens. Remove 67 to leave 85. Add 67 back to check.
