Jack and the BeanStalk!!

Well, we planted our beans last week and this week we are going to be reading the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and thinking about what we would like to grow from our magic beans.

 

Your big talk this week will be to discuss what you would wish to be at the top of your beanstalk.... if you looked out of your window tomorrow morning and there was a beanstalk, what would you hope would be at the top?

You can build the castle at the top of the beanstalk here---> Beanstalk Castle

You can play a word search game from the story here
(Read the clue and then find the word, you may need a little bit of help from a grown up for this one) ---> Wordsearch

Watch the story on a short video below...

Hello Quadbloggers!!!!!!!

Hi to our 3 Quadblogging buddies !!

We are very excited to be the focus blog this week!!! We have had May Bank holiday today and are back in school tomorrow so we'll keep you updated on our activities this week as we go along!!

WallWishers!!!

This is a new idea we haven't tried before! I know Mrs Warner and her year 4 class have been using 'WallWisher' so I thought I'd introduce it to you! The idea is, it is like a giant notice board and everyone posts a 'sticky note' onto the board about the subject! We can all see each others ideas and share thoughts etc! Have a go!!!

Observational paintings of flowers using powder paints

Last week we had our artistic hats on and were carefully painting observational paintings of flowers to link to our growing topic. We used powder paints to mix and find the correct colour and shade we needed for the different parts of the flowers and the results look fantastic!!

Can you remember how we made green for the stalk and leaves?

What colours did we mix to make the purple for the petals?

You can play a colour mixing game here to experiment at home!!---> Colour Mixing

Here are a few of us hard at work...
