We have retold the story using puppets and thinking about what the different characters would say.
Our play house has been made into a Giant's castle. Watch out!
We've explored the beans in the tray, what sounds they make and how they look and feel.
We've pretended to grow our own flowers in the sand tray and in the play dough.
We have been watching the tadpoles growing.
We built the story in the right order using the blocks.
We used the leaves to make a beanstalk number line, guessing the missing numbers.
We made our own numbers using pompoms to print with.
We painted castles, mixing colours.
Making castle models.
We made our own Jack and the Beanstalk books
We listened to In the Hall of the Mountain King by Greig and imagined the music was the sound of Jack creeping through the castle when the Giant suddenly wakes up and chases him, and Jack finally chops down the beanstalk.
Next week we are continuing to learn about growth and life cycles as we plant our own beans. We are having some special visitors to school soon to help us learn more about our growth topic - please watch out for a letter coming soon with more details.
