Jack And The Beanstalk Fun!

08.02.2021

The children have been loving listening to the story of Jack & the Beanstalk so much recently that we had a full morning of themed activities around it!

–

We set up a small world area where the children played beautifully together, using their imaginations to retell the story and take turns acting out the different characters.

–

The giant was a favourite to act out and there were some fab “fe fi fo fums”! This was a great language & social opportunity for children of all ages, learning & using new words, sharing their ideas and listening to each other too as they played.

–

During this play the older children talked about how big & high the beanstalk was and compared it to the dolls. This inspired us to make our own beanstalk and measure each other to see how tall we were.

–

We wrote our names on leaves then took turns to stand against the beanstalk to be measured & stick our leaf on.

–

The children learned a lot of new language from staff about tall/short, bigger/smaller and looked at each others height closely. They were fascinated by the beanstalk and studied it for a long time, looking at each others names closely and talking about which friends were at the top, middle or bottom.

Lots of love,
