Things to ask me

Week beginning 24.1.22

From next week I will be putting this on the website for you to access, if you’d like a paper copy, just let me know.

This week we have been sharing the story of Jack and the Beanstalk in our English work.

• can you re-tell the story of Jack and the beanstalk to someone at home?
• why was Jack’s mum cross with him?(he sold the cow for magic beans)
• what did Jack take from the giant?(a hen that laid golden eggs and a harp)
• what special words did the giant say when he thought Jack was near by? (Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman)
• what happened to the giant at the end of the story? (He fell out of the beanstalk and was never seen again)
• what happened to Jack and his mum at the end of the story? (They had the hen that laid golden eggs and the harp and became rich)
• can you think of any words that start with sh
• how many words can you think of beginning with ch

We have been making up silly sentences using ch and sh, for example: chickens chomp chocolate. or sharks wear shirts made from shells.

• can you make up a silly sentence of your own for the ch and sh sound?

• can you remember how to make a paper aeroplane? We used this video to help us.

• how could you measure how far it flies? (measure the length using any objects or non-standard units such as toy bricks, teddy bears or footsteps)
• can you find 5 things that are taller than you.
• can you find 5 things that are shorter than you.
• can you order some objects from shortest to tallest, shortest to longest.
