This week the Chicks topic book at 345 Wandsworth was Jack and the Beanstalk by Nick Sherratt and Stephen Tucker. The children have loved listening to this classic fairytale about a boy that sold his cow for some magic beans.
We took inspiration from the story for our activities throughout the week and our the highlight was getting the opportunity to plant our own beans!
Each Chick planted their own bean and we also planted beans into bags which then placed in different locations around the classroom. We discussed what seeds need to grow and the children made predictions about which beans will grow the quickest, the beans in the sunshine or the beans in the shade. We will have to wait and see!
