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
• Bowl or container
• Whiteboard/ paper to write addition problems on
Lesson aim: Use 10 as a reference in forming numbers from 11 to 20, eg 'Thirteen is 1 group of ten and 3 ones'.

What's the place value
You could:
• Exploring groups of 10
(attached to this week’s

note or coin? Is it worth cents or
dollars? What size/colour/shape

Lesson aim: Establish that containers of different shapes may have the same capacity, eg a tall narrow container may hold the same amount as a short wide container.
Video: Capacity with Miss Moffatt
You could:
• Experiment with the capacity of
different containers using
water/sand etc.
1. Describe the shape of the
containers
2. Estimate and explain which one you

capacity
3. Use water/sand to measure and
compare
4. Discuss your findings.

You can make someone feel
better when they are sick,
And you can do it anywhere!
Reading Makes You Feel Good is
all about the delightful, joyful,
rewarding experience of reading.
Reading isn't something that just
happens at school or at home-it
can happen anywhere! There are
so many fun ways we can read-

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
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.

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!
