Now comes your age. How old are you? Can you find the right number for your age?
Finally, can you find your photo? – We have some printed out for you! Pick out your photo and carefully stick it onto your passport to make it official.
With passports in hands, we’ll be ready for take-off.

Morning Meet
Read Monkey Puzzle
Why is the Little Monkey sad in the story? What makes you feel sad?
How does the Little Monkey feel when the Butterfly keeps taking him to the wrong mum? Why does the Butterfly think that the Little Monkey's mummy does not look like him? What do butterfly babies look like?
What animals does the Little Monkey see in the jungle? Can you think of any other jungle animals?
What happened at the end of the story? Was the Little Monkey happy?
The Butterfly is a Caring Koala as she helps the Little Monkey to find his mummy. Also, Mummy Monkey and Daddy Monkey are Caring Koalas because when the Little Monkey is lost and sad, they give the Little Monkey a big hug to help him feel safe, warm and happy.
Let’s all be Caring Koalas by passing our classroom Monkey around the circle and everyone can take a turn to give the Monkey a big hug so it feels happy and safe. Well done everyone, Monkey is now happy. Caring Koala stickers for everyone - yeah!
