- ‘Lucky Dip’ is set at the seaside and takes place mostly in an old arcade.
- Sequencing means putting the events in the right order so they make sense.
- Retell means to tell a story or explain something again in our own words.

Common misconception
Pupils may find it hard to sequence the events/ images after watching the animation once.
Provide an opportunity to re-watch the animation. For Task A, print off the images and children can work in pairs or small groups to sequence the story on large sugar paper.
