During our English learning this week we have been reading ‘Jim and the Beanstalk’. The children have really enjoyed following Jim’s adventures! We have been building interesting sentences using different adjectives and conjunctions.

In this re-telling of the classic children’s story by author of The Snowman Raymond Briggs, a little boy called Jim finds a beanstalk outside his window one morning. Like his predecessor Jack, he decides to climb it – and at the top, he finds a huge castle and a rather grumpy giant. But this giant isn’t at all what Jim expected . . .

This funny and yet heartwarming story showcases the importance of friendship, problem-solving, and above all – kindness.

Guided Reading

To carry on the theme of fairy tales with a twist in Guided Reading, we have been reading another traditional tale . We have started to predict what we think will happen next.
