Jaspers Beanstalk
We read the story of Jasper’s beanstalk; where he plants a broad bean, and it doesn’t grow. We planted our own beans and learnt that they need warmth, water and soil to grow. The roots have started poking through which is a good sign. We played in the soil with the tractors. We also learnt about brushing our teeth as part of our healthy me topic.
