Jasper's Beanstalk

Monday

Today we are going to explore reading the story Jasper's Beanstalk. Before you begin the story, have a look at the front cover and discuss these questions with your grown ups. 

What can you see? What do you think will happen? Who is Jasper? Do you know any other stories which contain a beanstalk? Why does the cat have tools?

Once you have read the story you could plant your own beans or seeds if you have any! If you do not have any you could research all of the things you would need to grow your own beanstalk! Can you make a list of all of the things you need? Can you draw the pictures to match?

Tuesday
Today we are going to continue to explore growing! We are going to focus on the different parts of a plant! Using any resources you may have at home your challenge is to create a picture of a plant! Here is an example of a picture using the key words and parts that you will need to include! Once you have designed your plant/flower can you label the different parts using your phonic knowledge? You could even write a super sentence about your design!

Wednesday 

Today we are going on a nature walk! We are going to collect lots of natural resources! You could walk to the local woods if you have one nearby to see what you can find! Whilst there you could discuss with your grown up's the changes you can see and the things which are different! Are the leaves nice and green or are they brown like in Autumn? You could attach sticky tape to a sheet of paper to stick your treasures onto! Just like below. Once you are home you could research the different tress you passed and the different leaves you found! Keep your treasures safe as you will need these for tomorrow's learning! 

Thursday 
Today we are going to use all of the wonderful treasures you found yesterday! Using the natural resources today we are going to create our own picture! The picture you choose to create is up to you! You could use the resources to make a tree or a house! Take a look at some ideas below to help spark your creativity! 
Don't forget to send us your designs as we really do love to see your super learning pictures! 

Fun Friday 

This week the Key worker children in school have been making dot pictures! They researched 'the dot' on the internet and have made their own pictures using the dot! 

We can't wait to see what wonderful pictures you create! Don't forget to send us your pictures!
