Activity 1:

To sequence things according to criteria

[lo 5.2.2]

Today we are going to practise putting events into the correct order. The boy in this story is very clever! His name is Danny. He saw a sheep trapped on a ledge. He had to rescue it, or it might have fallen off the ledge and drowned in the sea. He used these six things to rescue the sheep: an apple; cotton; tree at top of cliff; walking stick; strong rope; heavy log.

Study the pictures below very carefully to see what Danny did.

After you have studied the pictures, read the sentences below. Rewrite them in the correct order.

  1. He tied the walking stick to one end of the rope.
  2. When the sheep was eating the apple, Danny lowered the walking stick very slowly down the cliff.
  3. Danny put the rope over a branch of the tree.
  4. He hooked the walking stick under the sheep's horns.
  5. Danny tied the apple to the cotton.
  6. The log fell down the cliff and the sheep was pulled up.
  7. Danny tied the heavy log to the other end of the rope.
  8. He lowered the apple down to the sheep.

9. He pushed the heavy log off the cliff.
