Learning intentions: Students will be able to verbally retell the story in its proper order.

The twins, Grace and Amy are making a prehistoric world inside a fish tank - a science project for the school display. Put the sentences in the boxes in the correct order to show the steps they follow to make the project.

They made volcano out of modelling clay, and put it in one corner.

Grace found some twigs that were just little like trees, and placed them around the bowl.

When they arrived home, the girls found the fish tank and cleaned it out with soppy water.

Then they spread soil on the bottom of the tank.

Amy poured some mud into the crater until it overflowed.

“I think we need a lake,” said Amy, so she put a plastic bowl full of water in the middle of the tank.
