Do you remember the story we have been working on last week and this week? That’s right, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Here is the story for you to hear again. In this version of the story, the giant is called an ogre.
Does the story still start and end in the same way as a traditional tale should I wonder?
Yes it does! The story starts with ‘Once upon a time’ and ends with ‘They lived happily ever after’.
Today you are going to be using the word ‘because’ in your work. The word ‘because’ is a conjunction.
This video will explain more.
Here are some story characters.
Underneath each character I have written the start of a sentence.
I would like you to complete the sentences using the conjunction ‘because’. Say the sentences first and then have a go at writing them out. For example the harp character might say:
I am singing… because I am being stolen. 
I am throwing the beans….
I am feeling tired…
I am cross…
Don’t forget to take a photo of your sentences and send the photo to me on Dojo.
Remember – capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and use the conjunction ‘because’!
Please also read a Bug Club book today and practise writing out your spelling words so you are ready for the test on Friday.
Good morning Swans! Today we are going to carry on looking at adding. Do you know what the symbol for adding is? Can you write the symbol? Here is mine.
Watch this video to remind yourself what we worked on yesterday.
For this next video, you may want to use your tens frame and your number line from your resource pack to help you.
Now try the first part of this worksheet.
Now see if you can work out the answer to the number sentences I have written down.
Can you work out what needs to go in the purple box?
Yes, it’s 8!
Because 12 + 8 equals 20, and 8 + 12 equals 20.
12 + 8 = 20
8 + 12 = 20
Well done. Let’s try another.
This time the answer is going to be 18.
What number needs to go in the purple box this time?
That’s right! 3 is going to go in the purple box this time because 15 + 3 equals 18 and 3 + 15 equals 18.
15 + 3 = 18
3 + 15 = 18
Well done Swans, you worked really hard today.

Hello Swans!
Today we will be starting a new topic – adding by counting on.
Firstly, let’s practise counting up to 20. Here is a video to sing along to!
Watch this video first. It introduces the concept of counting on.
Now, see if you can follow this video. This will explain our new topic, and is the introduction to the work for today.
Here is the worksheet to go with the video:
Now let’s have a go at adding with things you have at home. What can you find to count with? You could try some pasta
Or some pencils
Or maybe some sweets!
Start with six of your chosen item. Add on five more. How many do you have now? Tell your grownup! Now try with your number line from your resource pack. Start on six and then add on five more. What do you notice? Is it the same as when you tried with your chosen item? Can you write out the number sentence to show this addition?
6 + 5 =
Let’s try another one. Start with thirteen of your chosen item. Add on four. How many do you have now? Now try on your number line. Start on thirteen and then add on four more. How many do you have now? Can you write out the number sentence to show this addition?
13 + 4 =
Let’s try one more. Start with three of your chosen item. Add on twelve more. That’s a lot! How many do you have now? Can you do this addition on your number line? Can you write out the number sentence to show this addition?
3 + 12 =
Well done everyone, that was brilliant adding!
Here is a link to an online addition game. I think you could set the robots to add numbers to 20! There is a number line along the bottom of the page to help with your adding.

Good morning! This week we are working on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk again. Here is the story.
Here are some characters from the story. Tell your grown up who each character is.
Can you read these sentences? Grown ups you will have to explain to your child that in the words ‘magic’ and ‘giant’ the letter ‘g’ is a ‘j’ sound. It is a concept that the children haven’t been introduced to yet, but please explain that sometimes letters have different sounds in different words.
Tell your grown up which character from the story says these sentences.
Now I’d like you to try some sentence dictation.
Ask your grown up to read one of the sentences above to you slowly. Ask them to repeat the sentences a few times so that you can hold the sentence in your head and remember what they say. Then try your best to remember and write the sentence. Do this for at least 4 of the sentences please.
Now please follow this link to play an online spelling game and practise your tricky words.

Please also practise reading and writing this weeks spelling words.
This week our home learning is all based on the story ‘The Tiger who came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr. This is a very old story.
It has recently been made into a lovely animation film that can be rented or bought from Amazon or Sky Store.
Here is Mrs Maltby reading the story.
This is another reading of the story, without props, but with sound effects!
This is a more modern version of the story.
Communication Language and Literacy.
In the story Sophie and her mummy are having tea when the tiger arrives. Here is Mrs Allcock having a tea party with Sophie and the Tiger.
Can you have a tea party with your child? Ask them to collect some favourite toys and lay the table using the correct number of cups and plates etc. Talk to them about plates, cups, cutlery etc. as they set the table for each toy. Count the items as they are placing them down. Ask them to check that there are enough places set for each toy.
Use the stick puppets from your resource pack to retell the story.
This song is all about black tiger stripes.
Go on a stripe hunt! Ask your child to find some stripy clothes (socks, scarves, hats and gloves are often stripy!)
The tiger in the story ate all the food! Talk to your child about their favourite foods. Emphasise what sounds each food start with (ppp pizza, or ccc cake etc.)
Can they ‘write’ a shopping list of favourite foods? Ask them to ‘read’ the list to you, write down what they say. Again, look for any marks that are beginning to look like letters.
Tiger starts with the ‘t’ sound. Here is Fred introducing this sound.
Mrs Maltby is playing ‘I spy’ with ‘t’ objects in this video – can your child play along?
Expressive Art and Design
Here is a lovely sing along song about ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’. Just a word of warning – you will be humming it for days!
This is a lovely animal song for your child to join in with.
If your child has a toy drum ask them to use this, if not they can use a saucepan and two spoons.
Explain they are going to make tiger sounds on their drum. Start by tapping slowly and steadily to represent a tiger walking along. Can they speed up their taps as the tiger starts running?
Emphasise the slow walking pace and the fast running pace of the taps.
Your child could explore drumming and beats by using a variety of pots and pans as a drum kit.
Perhaps your child could use orange and black paper to make a tiger mask, similar to this one? Can they prowl around like a tiger? Can they pounce like a tiger? I think they will be very good at roaring like one!
Or could your child make a tiger puppet, like this?
This link will take you to some instructions for making a tiger out of a cardboard tube.

Physical Development
Here is a short yoga session, based on our story.
Put some orange lentils into a black baking tray and encourage your child to explore the textures with their hands. You do not need many lentils, just enough to cover the bottom of the tray. I am sure your child will love the feeling of the lentils running through their fingers. Shake the tray slightly so the lentils cover the bottom of the tray. Can your child use their finger to make black stripes? Can they write letters from their name?
Can your child bounce around like Tigger?
Mathematical Development
Please make sandwiches for your tea party with your child. Cut the sandwiches into squares and triangles. Talk about the shapes with your child. How many sides does the shape have? How many pointy corners? Can they find any other squares or triangles in the house?
Ask your child to line up some toys or toy animals – can they count them? Can they give each toy a cup? Have they got enough cups or do they need more? Do they have too many cups?
Look at patterns with your child. If you can go to the shop please buy some Smarites to use. Look at the brown and orange Smarties – what shape are they? Can your child use the smarties to make a repeating pattern like the tigers stripes?
How many orange Smarties do they have? How many are brown ones? Which do you have more or less of?
You can also use Lego or Duplo to create patterns. Perhaps you could draw a pattern for your child to copy.
Bake some tiger cupcakes with your child.
Talk about quantities and measuring as you do so. Talk about time – how long the cakes will need to bake in the oven for.
Ask a grown-up helper to turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a paper case in hole of a 12-hole bun tin.
Put the sugar and butter (it must be soft or you won’t be able to mix it properly) in a bowl and mix it together. Sift in the flour.
Break the eggs into a separate bowl (spoon out any bits of shell that fall in) and add them to the bowl with the vanilla. Mix everything together.
Divide between the cases using a spoon, scraping it off with a knife. Ask a grown-up helper to put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.
Mix the butter and icing sugar to make a creamy icing. Add colouring, if you like. Push an icing nozzle into an icing bag, then scoop in the icing.
Let the cakes cool completely in the tray. Decorate as tigers using the icing pens.
Understanding the World
Here is a tiger video for you to watch with your child.
Go for a walk in your local area – can you find any stripe patterns?

In both of our stories this week there are giants! David defeats the giant Goliath in our bible story and Jack meets a giant at the top of the beanstalk!
There is a special place in Northern Ireland called ‘The Giants Causeway’.
Here is a video showing this amazing place. Please watch it with your child and talk about the things you can see.
There are different stories about how this amazing place came to be. Here is the scientific reason. Discuss this with your child.
So, scientists believe that the amazing rock patterns were created by a volcano erupting 60 million years ago. Here is a video of a volcano erupting.
Some people believe that the rocks are like that because of giants! The legend is that the giants Finn McCool and Benandonner created them because of a fight they had a long time ago. Here is the story.
This rock does look like a giants boot doesn’t it?!
What do you think? Was The Giants Causeway created by volcanoes or giants?
In this CBeebies programme, the ‘Go Jetters’ visit the Giants Causeway.
Here are some ideas of activities you could do with your grown up that are linked to ‘The Giants Causeway’

Here is a familiar face reading the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Mrs Dallow is missing you all and is pleased to be reading you a story.
Today you are going to think about your what part of the story is your favourite part.
Do you like the part when Jack first sees the beanstalk, or the part when Jack is running away from the giant? There are lots of great parts to choose from!
My favourite part of the story is when Jack is climbing up the beanstalk. Imagine how much hard work that must have been!
Please log onto Purple Mash again using this link.
Select the 2do tab at the top of the page. Please complete the ‘favourite part’ 2do that has been set for you. You will be able to choose pictures and write about the story.
