A most peculiar thing happened to us in Darling Class this week...

While telling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, six beans were thrown behind the teacher, but only five were found again by the children. Where this last bean went, we do not know...

But, the very next day, a beanstalk had grown in our classroom, with a message attached!

Well, the message was all jumbled up, but we were clever and used our phonics and our sight words to put the words into the correct order to read the message.

It was from THE GIANT!

He didn't have very good manners, so we wrote messages back to him, showing how to be polite, and do you know what...?

He wrote a much nicer message the very next day and even gave us some magic beans of our own.

We had to say thank you for that!

And who knows what will happen to our beans.....?
