Learning Objective: Rewriting the setback to the story Jack and the Beanstalk.

Following on from yesterday's lesson we need to extend our setback, what else do we need to include? - yes! we need to include our final item that is stolen.

I might write something along the lines of:

The next day, Miss Mawby climbed up the beanstalk for the third time.

“You look hungry again Miss Mawby!” said Mrs Phipps.

“I will make you a sandwich.”

But then…

“Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an English man!”

“It’s the giant! Quick, hide!” cried Mrs Phipps

The giant had a golden harp. He started to play it.

Then he fell asleep.

Miss Mawby crept out of the spell room and grabbed the harp.

The giant wizard woke up!

I would like you to stop at where the Giant has woken up, as we are doing the ending tomorrow! 

I would like you to include your final special item to be stolen and who is involved. 

Year One - To write the setback to your story, including one sentence with an exclamation mark.

E.g. Quick! Hide! It's the Giant!

 Year Two - To write the setback to your story including a exclamatory sentence. 

E.g. You look hungry again Miss Mawby! 

Big Maths

Each week we spend approximately an hour working through our mental maths skills, eg rapid recall of bonds and fact families, as well as reviewing some of the less visited areas of Maths - Shape, Area, Factors and Estimation (SAFE). If your child is on SAFE Maths we will have emailed you the sheets via Purple Mash. However, the following links are all excellent at reviewing those skills we all need to become fluent, confident mathematicians.

Click here for Subitising skills for Reception, these are really useful for seeing an amount without counting.

Religious Education:

What happens at the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr, and why?

LO: I can identify some ways Muslims mark Ramadan and celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr

Discuss how fasting during the month of Ramadan gives Muslims a wonderful sense of community and that fasting is one of the duties as a Muslim. How do the children think it feels to go without food? What would be the hardest thing about this? What might make it worth it?
Free from BBC Learning Zone

• Watch the video (Wafa’s Eid) a child’s view of Eid-ul-Fitr (the end of Ramadan). Using post it notes children are asked to record the different ways in which the EId-ul-Fitr is celebrated (e.g. giving of cards, new clothes, day off school, Mehndi patterns) together talk about the symbolic meaning of these.

What matters most?

• Ask some big questions by offering simple alternatives: what matters most at Eid, would it be presents or lunch? Remembering or giving? Kindness or honesty? Reading the Qur’an or giving money to help the poor? Presents or prayers? Stimulate the children to give simple reasons for their answers. This learning idea prepares children for the last lesson below.
