LO - use ordinal numbers.

We use ordinal numbers to describe which order things come in. Ordinal numbers are words like 1st (first), 2nd (second) 3rd (third) and so on. Listen carefully to the story of Chinese New Year. Can you put the ordinal numbers in order and match the ordinal numbers to the animals from the story?

Cut and stick the pictures and ordinal numbers to match them up together.

LO – investigate floating and sinking.

Wouldn’t it have been easier if the animals just had a boat to cross the river?! But if they had to make a boat what material should it be made of?

Have a look at this video which explains a bit more about floating and sinking…
