Charlotte’s Pool Plan: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. 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.

quarter: One of four equal parts.
session: A set period of time for an activity.
journey: Travel from one place to another.
lockers: Small cupboards for keeping belongings safe.
planning: Thinking ahead about what to do and when.

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, what the characters tried and how they checked. On a teaching clock show 4:15, 4:30 and 4:45 with both hands moving correctly. Count two fifteen-minute intervals. Use a timeline to check leaving at 4:30 and arriving at 4:40.
