Creating beanstalks

This week the Big Bumbles learning has been focussed around fairy tales and fantasy, in particular stories about giants. One of our activities was based around the story ‘Jack and the beanstalk’. The children firstly began by recalling the story and talking about sizes, they then used a fine motor skill to thread small Cheerios onto spaghetti pasta taking lots of care and precision. As you can see it was a little tricky and took lots of concentration, but great pride was shown when the beanstalks were complete.
