We all went on safari

Weekly plan based on the fictional story ‘We all went on Safari: a counting story through Tanzania’ by Laurie Krebs & Julia Cairns. Final outcome: to create their own counting story. Also included is a ppt of the story (you will need a slideshare account to view this - this is free to join. The ppt wouldn't upload as a file due to its size) and differentiated planning sheets. Ideally, worksheets need to be printed onto A3 so the year 1s have more space to write. Worksheets used throughout the whole week. (Other resources as mentioned above are through TES)
