It was lovely to have the children back in school after the half term holiday and they were amazed to find that a gigantic beanstalk had grown in the classroom. Along side it was a pair of huge boots, a golden egg and a poster asking if anyone had seen a missing harp. We could hear loud footsteps and harp music but it was a mystery as to where they were coming from! Curiosity got the better of them and the children had to find out more, so set about asking lots of questions, exploring the environment for more clues and even wrote to Mrs Fielding to see if she had any more information! The children quickly realised that Jack and the Beanstalk was going to be the key focus for some of our learning and have discovered that is is a traditional tale. They have been creating story maps and learning to tell the story.
In maths, the children have been exploring sharing and they are very good at recognising if amounts are not shared fairly.
They have been exploring different media to try and draw figures and have been using puppets to tell stories. the block area has been used very imaginatively with lots of interesting creations made even more more amazing with a range of enhancements.
Our play dough area has been very popular this week and the children have been creating their own frogs and singing songs.
