Reception have been learning about a range of traditional tales this term. For their focus on Jack and the Beanstalk, the children used Drawing Pad on the iPad to draw the giant's castle. They learnt about some different features of a castle to help them with their illustrations. The children then created amazing artworks that incorporated turrets, moats and draw bridges. Some children made Jack's beanstalk and clouds then placed their giant's castle at the top. You could almost hear the giant roaring: 'Fee, fi, fo, fum!'
