Peter’s Seed Markers: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 1. 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.

seeds: Parts of a plant that can grow into new plants.
label: A sign that helps identify something.
recognise: Know what something is when you see it.
waterproof: Made to resist water passing through.
planning: Thinking about what to do before starting.

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 picture labels for familiar pots. Compare paper indoors with an adult-prepared waterproof label. Add a few drops over a tray and notice what changes.
