English – Read Elmer by David McKee and then answer the comprehension questions.
Elmer By David Mckee
There was once a herd of elephants. Elephants young, elephants old, elephants tall or fat or thin. Elephants like this, that or the other, all different but all happy and all the
same colour. All, that is, except Elmer.
Elmer was different. Elmer was pathwork. Elmer was yellow and orange and red and
pink and purple and blue and green and black and white. Elmer was not elephant colour.
It was Elmer who kept the elephants happy. Sometimes he joked with the other elephants, sometimes they joked with him. But if there was even a little smile, it
was usually Elmer who started it,
One night Elmer couldn’t sleep for thinking, and the think that he was thinking was that he was tired of being different. “Whoever heard of a patchwork elephant?” he
thought. “No wonder that laugh at me.” In the morning before the others were really awake, Elmer slipped quietly
away, unnoticed.
As he walked through the jungle, Elmer met other animals.
They always said: “Good morning, Elmer.” Each time, Elmer smiled and said: “Good morning”
After a long walk, Elmer found what he was looking for – a large bush. A large bush
covered with berries, a large bush covered with elephant-coloured berries. Elmer caught hold of the bush and shook it and shook it so that the berries fell on the
ground
Once the ground was covered in berries, Elmer lay down and rolled over and over – this wayand that way and back again. Then he picked up bunches of berries and
rubbed himself all over, covering himself with berry juice until there wasn’t a sign of any yellow, or orange, or red, or pink, or purple, or blue, or green, or black, or
white. When he had finished, Elmer looked like any other elephant.
After that Elmer set off back to the herd. On the way, he passed the other animals
again. This time each one said to him: “Good morning elephant.” And each time Elmer
smiled and said: “Good morning,” pleased that he wasn’t recognised.
When Elmer rejoined the other elephants, they were all standing quietly. None of
them noticed Elmer as he worked his way to the middle of the herd.
After a while Elmer felt that something was wrong. But What? He looked around:
same old jungle, same old bright sky, same old rain cloud that came over from time to time and lastly same old elephants. Elmer looked at them.
The elephants were standing absolutely still. Elmer had never seen them so serious before. The more he looked at the serious, silent, still, standing elephants, the more he wanted to laugh. Finally he could bear it no longer. He lifted his trunk and at the
top of his voice shouted:
The elephants jumped and fell all ways in surprise. “Oh my gosh and golly!” they said
– and then saw Elmer, helpless with laughter. “Elmer,” they said. “It must be Elmer.” Then the other elephants laughed too, as they
had never laughed before.
As they laughed, the rain cloud burst and when the rain fell on Elmer,
his pacthwork started to show again. The elephants still laughed as Elmer was washed back to normal. “Oh Elmer,” gasped an old elephant. “You’ve played some
good jokes, but this has been the biggest laugh of all. It didn’t take you long to show your true colours.”
“We must celebrate this day every year,” said another. “This will be Elmer’s Day. All elephants must decorate themselves and Elmer
will decorate himself elephant colour.”
That is exactly what the elephants do.
On one day a year they decorate themselves and parade. On that day if you happen to see an elephant ordinary elephant colour, you will know it must be Elmer.
Now that you have read the story have a go at answering these questions. You can also watch the story on Clifton’s Youtube channel, or find the link on Clifton’s Twitter feed.
1. Elmer was a different kind of elephant, He was patchwork.
Make a list of all Elmer's’ colours
2. Why do you think all the other elephants liked Elmer so much?
3. Why do you think Elmer wanted to cover himself in the grey juice from the
berries?
_____________________________________________________________________
4. When Elmer returned to the herd of elephants he thought something was
wrong. But what? Tick one.
The jungle was different
The sky was different.
There was a rain cloud.
All the elephants were so serious
5. How did the other elephants know that it must have been Elmer who made
them jump?
6. Do you like to play dressing up? What do you like to dress up as?

English – Being unique
Today we are going to think about what unique makes all of use unique. Elmer is unique because he is an elephant with rainbow and white squares arranged as a patchwork. He is also unique because he is very cheerful and loves to joke around. We are all unique and special in our own way. Can you draw and write about three things that make you unique and special?
Example
I am unique because I am the
only elephant that has
rainbow and white coloured
squares.

*You will need a bean bag (or cuddly toy) for this lesson* Lesson 12 Warm up: Play the game below:
Main activity:
Instructions: Make sure you are maintaining your balance throughout. Challenge 1: Balancing on an uneven surface
• Put your bean bag/cuddly toy on the ground in front of you. • Stand on it with both legs until you feel balanced. • Slowly lift one leg up in front of you. • Balance on the object for 30 seconds. • Repeat on the other leg.
Success criteria:

Blue Challenge
Maintaining balance and on both legs.

2. I can stand still on an uneven surface for 30 seconds with eyes closed.
3. I can complete 10 squats into ankle extensions. 4. I can complete 5 squats with eyes closed.
Challenge 2: Balancing on an uneven surface with eyes closed
• Repeat challenge 1 but this time keep your eyes closed. • Close your eyes before lifting your leg up off the floor. • Slowly lift your leg, keeping it close to the floor until you feel confident enough to lift it higher.
Challenge 3: Squats into ankle extensions
• Take the bean bag away, you do not need it for this challenge. • Lift one leg up off the ground. • Perform a squat, bending your standing knee so your lifted leg becomes lower. • Straighten your standing leg and go straight into an ankle extension, lifting your standing heel. • Then lower the heel and go straight into a second squat. • The challenge is to complete 10 of these without losing your balance. • Try it on the other side. Is one side easier than the other?
Super challenge!
• The super challenge today is to try and do five one legged squats with your eyes closed! • Remember to do each squat slowly: this will help you to keep your balance. If you rush the movement, you are more likely to lose balance.

DT – Look at these pictures to help you make your own Elmer elephant from an empty milk bottle.
You will need:
1. An empty milk bottle 2. Some coloured paper
(There are coloured squares on the
next page if needed)
3. Glue (PVA glue will work better) 4. Scissors What to do:
1. Ask a grown up to help you to stand the milk bottle up and cut into it just below the handle. This will form the elephant’s trunk. Then cut off the entire bottom half of the bottle and cut four legs into it. Look at picture to help you.
2. Start sticking the square pieces of coloured paper on the milk bottle. Remember, the squares need to touch each other all the way around Elmer’s body. There should be no gaps.
3. Once you have finished sticking the coloured squares you can add another wash of glue over the top of your Elmer elephant to make it hard and shiny after it dries. Finally add the ears and the eyes and your Elmer elephant is complete.
Mindfulness – Well done for a fantastic week of learning. Here is a colouring sheet for you to colour. We hope you have a lovely weekend and summer holiday. From the Year One team.
