This week we have been reading our next Mick Inkpen book . . . This lovely story is based on Kipper wanting to choose a pet for Pig's birthday present. As well as sharing the children's thoughts and ideas about the story, we also discussed what needs to be done to care for our pets to keep them safe and well, writing a collaborative list together. As a follow-up to the story, the children did some 'shopping' for their own pets! We referred to a price list for a variety of animals ranging from 1p to 5p each prior to the children taking turns to select two pets of their choice, identifying how much each one would cost and then carefully counting out that amount of one pence coins and locating the corresponding price tag before adding the two amounts together to find the total. The children had lots of fun selecting their pets - which would you have chosen?
Do you have a pet at home? What do you do to help look after it? We would love to hear from you - let us know!
