Jack and the Beanstalk
For this theme, we read the Jack & The Beanstalk story, let the chidren plant their own beans, they made their own beanstalks out of cardboard tubes and green crepe paper, we talked about how things grow, the gold coins - money, but the best thing was we made a giant beanstalk out of sugar paper for the wall, and every day, after the children had gone home, we added to it and it got bigger every day, and it ended up 'growing' all the way accross the ceiling! The children arrived every morning amazed at how much the beanstalk had grown!
