I hope all the bean stalks are growing well. The boys are very excited to tell me about the changes to their plants and it has been lovely to receive some photographs via email!

This week the boys have written some instructions about how to grow a beanstalk. They wrote in small groups of 4 and their work is displayed in the classroom. It would be good if you could look at other examples of instructions eg in a game, a recipe etc. You could encourage your son to have a go at writing some different instructions eg how to get ready for bed, how to make a sandwich etc.

Here are some photo’s of the boys hard at work carrying out their writing task!

In maths we have continued to measure different object using cubes. We will move onto simple weighing at the end of the week (heavy / light / balanced). Any activities you can do at home to practise measuring length / width and weighing will really support what we are doing in class.
