Week Beginning 1.5.2017

 
Class 1 had a lovely time working on last weeks story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Children worked with their friends on freeze framing parts of the story...
 
 Jack is climbing up the beanstalk.
 Mum is not happy about the magic beans and throws them away. A beanstalk grows and Jack climbs up it.
 Jack is selling his cow .
 
 

Threading the Giant's harp was one of our independent challenges.



We used the shakers made last week to play alongside some well known classical music (The Carmen Overture by Bizet) and experimented with tempo and intensity.

 
We have been busy in maths using Jacks magic beans to help us learn to count in twos.
 
 
Towards the end of the week it was nice to see everybody so busy out in the sunshine again in our outdoor area, a novelty not to have to be wrapped up in our coats.

 
Finally what a busy end to the week we have had.  We finished our work on Jack and the beanstalk by retelling the story in our own words.  What a lot of independent writing, well done everyone.
 
 
We also created these wonderful beanstalk collages, the children marbled the paper, painted and cut their own beanstalks and add leaves and glitter to finish them off. Super!
 
Congratulations to Logan, our Golden book winner today for working so hard in maths to count in 2's and 10's.
