Around the classroom I have put some key vocabulary from the 'Jack and the beanstalk' book! Your challenge is to look around the classroom and find the words with your talk partner and do the following challenges :

- decode the words using your phonics

- clap the number of syllables in the word

- what do you think the word means

- make a sentence including the word.

We will then go through all the words together as a class!
