Dinsaurs And All That Rubbish is a fantastic colourful and imaginative take on how to teach young children how important it is to look after the Earth. This is a great thought provoking story which can be enjoyed by children of all ages. The pictures are colourful, bright and friendly.

Video– This is a lesson on related facts and fact families. In this lesson, they will work practically to find links between the addition and subtraction sentences. They will represent this on ten frames using small objects. They should recognise that addition and subtraction are inverse operations.

Upon arriving, it is not the lush (grass is greener scenario) planet that he fantisised about; rather, it is barren and life less. He sees another distant star; his planet that he doesn't recognise as his own. The irony of his blindness is apparent as he sets off and sets to discover IT, still with his take all, share nothing attitude.

Sheet– same activity but focusing on numbers within 10. If your child is not ready to relate addition and subtraction yet. Please just focus on finding the addition number sentences to go with each picture, using the rule of commutativity (e.g. 2+3=5 so 3+2=5) The book begins with the lines: “A man stood on a hill and looked at a star. All he thought about, dreamed about, was the star.” It follows a businessman who will do anything to travel to space, even if he has to destroy his own planet to get there. When he finally reaches the faraway star – a barren planet with “no trees, no flowers, and not a blade of grass” – he starts to think that maybe Earth wasn’t that bad in the first place. If you’ve got little ones and want them out of your hair for thirty minutes, Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish is a fabulous story of regrowing the Earth following human destruction. Whilst he is away the ground begins to rumble and ancient Dinosaurs break through the earth crust waking from their slumber.
