We have been looking at and discussing the four stages of the bean lifecycle and have been very ‘green-fingered’ in class this week, busily planting beans. We planted runner bean seeds in a clear plastic cup so that we can see what happens beneath the soil – we look forward to seeing the roots and shoots growing. We also coloured and cut out a picture of a castle, which we stuck to a lolly stick and placed into our cups to represent the castle in the story. Fingers crossed our beanstalk will grow as tall as Jack’s!
In maths, we have been focusing on measuring. Using Unifix bricks, we have been estimating how many bricks are needed to make towers the same height as different sunflowers and then measuring them to see if our predictions were correct. We also used our measuring worms, placing them in length order.
Outside we raised our heartbeat as we played the bean game – ask us what we needed to do when we saw the picture of the different types of beans.
Our topic next week is Healthy Eating and Healthy Teeth.
