Science and English - Magic Bean Investigation.

LAUNCH your traditional tales/twisted tales project by creating a beanstalk in your classroom. Then allow the MAGIC letter to appear from a mysterious Fairytale character.

Give each group a RUNNER bean seed to grow but attach the little magic scroll to each one...
The wonder and magic has been created.

Children create a science investigation to determine which liquid allows the seed the grow the best.
After forming a conclusion the children must then use literacy skills to write a letter and set of instructions back to the characters in Far Far Away to tell them how to grow the magic beans.

Also included Wanted poster to stick around your room (just replace the picture with characters from books and films you study).

This was used as a HOOK to apply science, English and wonder into our TWISTED tale project, where the letters down the beanstalk finally revealed it wasn't Red Riding Hood in trouble but the kindly wolf.
