ENGLISH – Think about the main characters in the story; Jack, Ma, the Giant and the Giant’s wife.
You could draw the characters and write words around them.
Use the words to write a character description.
Repeated sentences can be helpful in order to give your child a structure.
It could be –
Jack is _________ because . . .
Jack is brave because he goes into the giant’s castle and the giant wants to eat him.
Jack is kind and heroic because he gives the poor people of the town the golden eggs so that they can eat.
Using words like ‘because/ and’ means that your child is joining two ideas which is great!
MATHS –
Collect as many pairs of shoes as you can from around the house. Put them in pairs and in lines. Socks are good for this too and might help you tidy up the washing pile!
Ask questions like –
“if you have 10 shoes how many pairs do you have?”
” How many shoes do you have in 6 pairs?”
Can you help them count along in 2s.
