Our story this half term is Jasper's Beanstalk

Jasper's Beanstalk

A story about a cat called Jasper who finds a bean one morning, but despite all the attention he lavishes on it all week, the bean refuses to grow, but a long time afterwards, Jasper receives a happy surprise. Illustrated in colour by Mick Inkpen.

The children were very excited to review our garden CCTV this week after noticing something unusual near the beanstalk. To their amazement, they spotted Jasper the cat exploring the area! He appeared to be carefully looking at the beanstalk, walking around it, and even giving it a little cuddle. This sparked lots of wonderful discussion, storytelling, and imaginative thinking among the children as they shared their ideas about why Jasper might be so interested in our growing plant.
