Introduction
The teacher reads through a story about Cerys the cat, who is trying to buy a hat to match her red coat. She tries on blue, green and yellow hats before finding a red one. Pupils have the opportunity to interact with the story by saying if they think each hat matches the coat. They then sequence the beginning, middle and end of the story by putting pictures in the right order. Pupils test their colour-matching skills by dressing Cerys in matching coats and hats.
