Autumn 2 2020

English activities linked to Jim and the Beanstalk.

Jim and the Beanstalk activities

In Autumn 2, we have looked at the story called Room on the Broom

Can you retell the story using wow verbs and adjectives from the original story?

Accurate Apostrophes

Apostrophes for Possession

Can you write some sentences about the witch from our story using apostrophes for possession?

Example

The witch’s black, pointy hat blew off her head and fell to the ground.

2JN planned a new story

• Opening- The witch was going to a party at the castle.
• Build up- The witch picks up her woodland friends. There was badger, hedgehog, bat and squirrel.
• Problem- The broom ran out of magic and they all fell to the ground. The Grinch saw the witch and wanted to tie her up so she couldn’t go to the party.
• Resolution- The woodland animals looked like a monster and scared The Grinch away.
• Ending- The animals and witch all went to the party.

Can you be an author and write our new story using the correct punctuation, wow adjectives and verbs? It would be even better if you could use apostrophes. 

Try turn your story into a book. You could be an illustrator too and add the pictures for your story.
