Before we start today's work here are some things that would be useful to have at home for next week.
English
Today try and complete the rest of your Jack and the beanstalk story.
It will be useful to go onto Thursday's page for this work so that you can remind yourself of the things you need to try and include and you will also then have the word sheet to look at.
If you don't manage to finish it then make sure you come back to it next week and try and get it completed.
Look at your story map to help you. You could also listen to one of the stories again from earlier in the week.
Remember to get the list of Year 1 and 2 words out (page 127) so that you can spell these words correctly. When you have finished you could illustrate your story with some pictures.
