I'd say very roughly 15 bags of sand , 4 cement and 5 bags of dashing chips.
You will want normal sand and cement for the scratch coat aswell , probably 10 bags of sand and three cement would do .
They are rough estimates but hopefully near enough to give you an idea

Moy83 is right with the materials. Just make sure you put waterproofing in the scratch coat. A bit in the butter coat also will make it nice and fluffy for the pebbles. Good luck if it's your first time.:D You should get a plaster really.

A bit of lime helps the mix also.
