We are reading Jack and the Baked Beanstalk. The is a classic fairytale with a twisted plot. We revealed the front cover and generated questions using our question hand. This encouraged us to use a range of openers for our questions such as ‘Who, What, Where, When, Why’. The children had lots of different questions based on their initial reactions to the title and cover. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/E3A9CD73-A1FE-47AD-BCED-4D2277183884.png) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1666.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-30-reception-muddy-monday) Previous ### [Reception: Muddy Monday](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-30-reception-muddy-monday) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/46BCF7ED-1447-46B6-9C66-D397158A49AC.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-01-jake-berry-visit-parliament-week) Next ### [Jake Berry Visit- Parliament Week](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-01-jake-berry-visit-parliament-week) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
