This term's topic is 'Jack and the Beanstalk-How could the giant have defended his castle?' 

We are learning all about how plants grow, castles in medieval time and sculpture.  

There will be a number of exciting learning opportunities going on throughout the term, including sculpting their own beanstalks, carrying out a fair test to see how to grow a beanstalk best and writing their own versions of Jack and the Beanstalk.
