We read different versions of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk , discussion and camoparing the stories. We planted runner beans in nursery this week in plastic bottles. We had some beans to try at snack. we made pictures of beans at art. We have been introducing and reinforcing the language of weight and measure by weighing bags of gold coins, comparing height of each other, beanstalks etc. We have been counting the giants gold coins and playing with real money. We listened to a CD called sticky kids where we have to pretend to be different beans.
We also disscussed what a plant needs to grow. We discovered plants need mud (soil), seeds, pot, water and light.
