Sequence everyday events in chronological order
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can sequence everyday events in chronological order.
Key learning points
- We can use ordering words like 'first', 'next', 'then' and 'after' to sequence events.
Keywords
First - Before anything else.
Then - After something in time.
Next - Coming straight after somebody/something in time, order or space.
After - Later than something, following something in time.
Finally - Last of all.
Common misconception
There may be some confusion with pupils because Jun’s day is likely to be sequenced differently to theirs.
Spend some time discussing with the class that people may do things in a different order to each other. For example, some people have a shower or bath in the morning and some have it in the evening.
Teacher tip
Reinforce the events in Pedro the Panda’s sequence by getting the pupils to act out the different events such as eating, climbing, swimming etc.
