Autumn 1 2024
The Upper School topic this term is Beans
In English this term we have been learning to improve our writing skills, we have focused on the story of ‘Jack and the beanstalk’. We have been learning to use adjectives to describe a character and created a wanted poster for Jack or the Giant.
In Geography we have been learning about the world around us. We have focused on the economy looking at both rich and poor continents around the world. Within our topic of beans we have been looking at where different beans are grown, we have started to make a fact book about the different countries
Our offsite visits have included visiting Sainsbury’s to look for different products that contain vanilla. The children found vanilla ice cream, vanilla biscuits, vanilla icing, vanilla milkshake and many other products. We then brought them back to school to taste. Everyone in class agreed that vanilla tastes good.
In cooking we have been making recipes using different types of beans. This has included cheese and bean pasties, Kidney bean quesadillas and mild coffee cakes.
