Jack and the beanstalk

Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!

I smell the blood of an Englishman!

Be he alive or be he dead,

I'll grind his bones to make my bread!

Our English genre this term in Narratives so we have been exploring the well known Jack and the Beanstalk. We have read different versions of the story and commented on our preferences explaining why. Some of us have been working on expanding our use of punctuation and noticed that the story had lots of exclamation marks. We came up with our own threats for the Giant.








At this age, visual literacy, drama and speaking and listening are really important parts of the learning process. It improves one's creativity and critical thinking as well as developing language skills. We made puppets and put on puppet shows to our peers orally rehearsing some of our ideas later used in our writing.
