Middle Introduction video: Popcorn Addition

Activity: Prior to starting this activity, students will need to cut up pieces of paper, write the numbers 0 – 10 on each of the pieces and then

scrunch them up. Students choose 2 pieces of popcorn from the bowl and write the addition problem on their piece of paper or whiteboard.

They then use their number facts and additive strategies to work out the answer. Students then scrunch the pieces of paper back up and place

them inside the bowl.

Optional extension: An optional extension has been demonstrated in the introduction video. Create more pieces of popcorn with numbers 0-10

so there are now double the amount inside the bowl. Student then choose 3 or 4 pieces of popcorn, using their additive strategies and number

facts to solve each addition problem. Students at this stage should be counting on from the largest number

You will need:

• Small pieces of paper

• Pencil

• Scissors

different containers using

water/sand etc.

1. Describe the shape of the

containers

capacity

3. Use water/sand to measure and

compare

4. Discuss your findings.

Gymnastics Routine

We all miss flip sport, so, complete

the following exercises under your

parents or carer’s watchful eyes in a

safe place with a soft floor mat as

your surface.

20 Donkey Kicks

Forward rolls

from in the library and in bed to in

the bathtub and on the road.

Remember to read- it makes you

feel good!

Encourage Others to Read

Make a poster to encourage

friends and others to read.

Discuss places and situations

where reading might be especially

useful. For example, reading is

very important for knowing which

toilet to go into, which animal you

are watching at the zoo, or which

way to go to the park. You can

choose a reason from the book or

come up with your own reason

that reading is important and fun.

Write your words in big letters on

the poster and illustrate in ways

that will make the people who see

it want to stop and look. If you

want to, take a picture of it and

email it to

clare.compton@det.nsw.edu.au

and it will be displayed in the

library!

Pizza Makes You Feel Good

In the book Todd writes “Reading

makes you feel good

because…you can learn how to

make pizza.”

Teaching Points for Parents

Donkey Kicks: Students place

hands on the floor, fingers away

from them, spring from 2 feet raising

hips but keeping them flexed and

legs tucked.

Forward Roll: Feet apart at top of

mat. Chin in chin hole, Place hands

between feet, look through legs

behind. Take weight on shoulders

above head.

Shape Dance

Kindergarten let’s make some

shapes and have some fun.

https://youtu.be/56PgJHYyEGE

Ask your grown up if you can

make a pizza together. Read

together the names of the

ingredients on any packets or

cans you might use. You could

take pictures of each step of

making the pizza and print them

off. Write captions for each

picture as instructions for next

time- or share them with someone

else to read so they can feel good

too! You might even want to

share your pizza!

Have a look at a pizza shop menu

(the kind they put in your

letterbox) and see what words

you recognise and read them out

loud to a grown up in your family,

or to your little brother of sister, or

to your dog!
