Week Beginning 2nd May 2022

 

A new week, a new story. This time it's Jack and the Beanstalk.

We read the story and talked about our favourite parts. We worked in small groups to practise our team working skills and act out a 'freeze frame' of our favourite parts.

Although team working proved a little challenging at times, the children got there in the end.

'Jack hides behind the giant's wife'. Please note the beanstalk standing tall.

Here we have a hen laying golden eggs and Jack hiding behind the Giant's wife. In the background the giant is coming in looking for Jack....

Well done everyone!!

In Maths this week we continue with 'teens' numbers...thinking about what makes 13, 16 etc?

Using our tens frames shows us how the number is composed e.g. 15 is a full ten and five of the next ten.

Our interest of all things Maths continues in our own time too, look at this super Numicon line Katie made...

We also planted our own seeds like Jack to see what happens.

A question?  How can you get Jack down from the Giant's castle if the Beanstalk is not  there...

''I know lets make him a parachute!'

We had great fun, designing, making and testing these.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
