Reception Jack and the Beanstalk

Reception pupils explored the story Jack and the Beanstalk. They used this text to practise writing sentences and also to create ‘danger’ posters to stop characters climbing the beanstalk. The children also enjoyed re-telling the story to peers, using small resources.
