I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and managed to have some fun time with your family. Although it has been a short week we have been very busy carrying out tasks from the dragon. We have finished Jack’s beanstalk and made a beautiful golden goose. Some pictures below –
Writing – Narrative
The children have really enjoyed writing “once upon a time” stories where they have been encouraged to use their imagination. They have written stories about kings, princes, wolves, hungry dragons etc. Some super examples below-
We thought it woulds be a good idea to grow our own beanstalks. So we have planted and watered them and are going to record their progress. We also looked at the life cycle of a bean. Once they start to grow the children will bring them home and you can plant them in the garden. Hopefully they will grow into large beanstalks with lots of pods!
Maths – Measure
We have done a little measuring this week using non-standard units. The children drew around their feet and cut out their foot shape and used it to estimate and then measure objects. They also used cubes, magic beans and stones. Some of thier estimates were fairly accurate!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I will back next week with more updates.
