Growing our beanstalks - January 2019

We have been reading books about growing, including Jack and the Beanstalk and Jasper's Beanstalk. This has inspired us to plant our own beans and observe what happens. We put butter beans in clear plastic cups with cotton wool and water.

We measured beanstalks and used pretend ones to practise our fine motor skills too.

We also mixed blue and yellow to make our own green paint with which to paint pictures of beanstalks.
