We have had so much fun this week exploring the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. Each child has planted a bean seed and we have been watching them carefully to spot any changes, we can safely say they were not magic beans as they have not yet begun to grow yet! In Maths this week Foundation 2 learned about number bonds to ten and Foundation 1 have measured their feet to find out who had the longest and who had the shortest. Together we have created a beanstalk for the role play area, each child has mixed yellow and blue paint to make their own shade of green for their leaf.

Foundation 2 have begun to record the progress of the beans in a simple Bean Diary as well as writing the exciting parts of the story from our learning theme. We'll be sending the diary home for you to continue during half term along with their bean. In writing F2 enjoyed labelling the different parts of a plant. In the outdoor area we pretended the climbing frame was the castle and built castles from different construction materials.
