Jack and the Beanstalk (ADC)

Two weeks ago we planted cress seeds and bean seeds. Today we looked at how our plants had grown. We talked about the roots and shoots.

Some of our beanstalks have started to grow. We will see how tall our plants get. Maybe they’ll get really big and we can climb the beanstalk to the giant’s castle!! The children said that Mrs Carberry and Miss McInally have to wait at the bottom of the beanstalk with the axe…..just in case!

Fairy Stories

Over the last few weeks we have been focussing on the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. We have all been working really hard and have lots of work up on the wall for everyone to see!

This week we have been reading the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. We have been participating in lots of activities such as;

  • acting out the story in the classroom
  • retelling the story and sequencing pictures
  • making playdough bowls, cottages, trees and hair for Goldilocks
  • singing the song ‘When Golidlocks Went to the House of the Bears’

Today we made and tasted porridge. It was not too hot, not too cold but was just right! We all loved eating the porridge and most of us had clean plates!

We used all of our sense to see, smell, taste and touch the porridge oats
