Hello Class One,
I hope you are ok and you have enjoyed some Jack and the Beanstalk themed learning this week. Here are some more activities for you to have a go at today.
Mrs Coleman-Harris x
Literacy- Can you sequence the story?
For this activity you can either print the pictures attached at the bottom of the page or you can create your own pictures to use.
Nursery
Can you print and cut out the key pictures from the story attached at the bottom of the page and sequence the story of Jack and the Beanstalk? When you are sure they are in the correct order can you stick them down on a piece of paper. When you have placed them in sequence can you retell the story in detail, from the beginning to the end? Can you use story language to make it really exciting?
Once upon a time….. One day… One sunny morning… Suddenly… From out of nowhere… They lived…
Finally can you label some of the things in the pictures with the initial sound? For example egg starts with e. Can you write e next to the egg? Maybe you can hear more sounds in the words, if you can hear more sounds write them down too in order.
Reception

Have a go at some of these art and design activities!
Try using blocks or something similar to print a castle for the Giant!
Try using pencils, pens, crayons, paint or anything you like to create some beanstalk art! You could use cotton wool for the clouds and natural resources for parts of the beanstalk.
Use any left over packaging to create a junk model castle!
Create a Jack and the Beanstalk small world area
Can you use small world toys, lego, printable pictures, junk modelling resources and anything else you can find, to make a Jack and the Beanstalk small world area? Can you draw the characters from the story or print them off and cut them out, then add them to your small world area. Then you can retell the story from beginning to end, using key phrases from the story. Maybe you could change the story? Maybe someone else could live in the castle or maybe Jack is captured by the Giant?
Planting at home!
Can you plant some vegetables at home, care for them and watch them grow. Maybe you could plant a bean seed in a bag or in a jar and watch it grow. Can you spot the roots and the shoot appear? Can you record what happens to it each week? Maybe you can sequence the life cycle of a bean?
