We have been writing about Jack and the Beanstalk. These are our ideas about what might have happened after Jack stole the goose that laid the golden egg, got away from the giant and chopped down the beanstalk...

Dad said “What should we do with this egg?” Mum said “I know, we can make it into gold.” “No,” said Jack, “We should give it away.” And they did.
