Listen to these two stories of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Jack and the beanstalk 2.mp4

As you listen to the second story think about the things that are the same as the first story and those things that are different.

Watch the video
See if you can find some more ideas for the chart.

Let's grow a bean seed right up to the giant's castle.

Watch the video. It includes instructions for your Jack and the Beanstalk craft

Two weeks later

Your bean plant should look like this.

Counting practice

Watch the numberblocks video.
Cut out your numbered leaves.
Start with the numbers 1-5. When you have practised putting the numbers in the right order, use your playdough to make magic beans. Make the right number of beans to match the number on the leaf.
When you have practised the numbers 1-5 then add the rest of the numbers.
Mix up the numbers and start again.

The Elves and the Shoemaker

Listen carefully to these two versions of The Elves and the Shoemaker. Like you did for Jack and The Beanstalk, see if you can find things that are the same and things that are different. There is an activity below, for you to do next.

The Elves and the Shoemaker

SAME and DIFFERENT

After listening to each story, see if you can decide which things are the same and which are different. I have answered the first one for you. For the things that are different, can you remember what happened instead in the other book?

the shoemaker and his wife are poor same
a rich woman came to buy the first pair
5 pieces of silver
went upstairs to bed
next morning there were 2 pairs of fine shoes
its almost Christmas
Hid behind the counter to see who was making the shoes
two little elves in ragged clothes
the Shoemaker's wife made tiny clothes for the elves
the Shoemaker made two pairs of tiny shoes
wrapped the gifts of clothes and shoes
elves laughed and danced in the table
the two elves skipped out the door singing a song
kind Shoemaker and his wife lived happily ever after.

The Elves and the Shoemaker Activities

The Elves and the Shoemaker

Imagine you are a shoemaker. Using a scrap of paper, start to sketch your design. Once you are happy with your shoe design, draw and colour it on the special page. Please use coloured pencils for this activity.

You might like to design the shoes for a specific person or purpose. Don't forget to colour the shoes.

Once you have completed your drawing, mount the page onto the sheet of yellow card.

Please keep this activity to give to your teacher for your journal.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

Being able to tie your own shoelaces is a skill we all need. We would like you all to decorate the crafty shoes and then practice tying your 'shoes'. If you can already tie your shoelaces, try one of the other ways in the videos below.

Please keep your 'shoes' to give to your teacher for your journal.

Step 1: Choose the tools - textas, paints, coloured pencils, stickers... you will use to decorate/colour your shoes.

Step 2: I used watercolours and started with the inside part where your heel would go.

Step 3: Once the shoes are all coloured, carefully cut them out around the outside black line.

If you have a laminator at home you might like to laminate the shoes now to make them last longer.

Step 4: Ask an adult to use a single hole punch to make the holes for your laces.

An adult can also put the laces into your shoes ready for you to tie the shoelaces.

Step 5: Practice, practice, practice! 😊

Elf Hat

Use the sheet of cardboard in your pack to make a cone shape, I traced a very large semicircle, then cut it out and staple.

Cut out the elf ears, taking care not to cut off the rectangular piece on the inside part of the ear. This is the part you will fold, glue and press to the side of the hat.

Once you fold the rectangular piece, cover it with glue.

Press each ear to the sides of your cone hat.

Take a photo wearing your hat.

New clothes for the Elf

Design some colourful, new clothes for the Elf. You can use coloured pencils, water colour paints, crayons, textas.
