Please complete the phonics activities below :
Areas of Learning
Choose at least one activity in each box to complete each day.
Choose at least one of the website activities (listed further below) to complete each day.
Knowledge & Understanding of the World When outside, ask your child to gather leaves, twigs and other natural materials to create a beanstalk on paper. Maybe you could take a picture of this piece of transient art to be shared in the newsletter. Why not set up a mini-planting area in your house.
PSED
Discuss the character of the giant. Why did he behave the way he did? What would you do if Jack took your belongings? Encourage your child to think about the story from a different perspective. .
Communication & Language
When you go to
the supermarket,
have a look at the
different shape,
colours and sizes
that beans come
in. Maybe you
have some dry
beans in your
house that you
can observe and
make a bean
picture.
Expressive Arts & Design If you have any boxes you could make a castle or a giant beanstalk.
Develop a dance using ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ by Edvard Grieg. The gentle start to this music is perfect for Jack climbing the beanstalk and exploring the castle, whilst the change in tempo and volume works well for the arrival of the giant.
Physical Development Fine motor skills - Paint some broad beans in different colours to make them look like ‘magic beans’. Have some tweezers and pots available for your child to move the beans from one pot to another.
