Oliver’s Fair Display: 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.

brackets: Supports that hold one part against another.
panels: Separate sections of a flat surface.
stability: The ability to stay in place without tipping.
sheltered: Protected from some of the wind or weather.
criteria: The things a design needs to achieve.

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

Make a small folded-card display indoors. Compare its position before and after gentle hand fanning, then ask a seated and standing viewer what they can see.
