Today the children made bird feeders using their fine motor skills. They thought of appropriate places around the outside area they could place them to feed the local birds.
We spoke about how placing food outside could help the birds during the season of Spring and support them with their young. The unit have been so caring and have really impressed their teacher with their empathy towards the wildlife.
Today we continued our expedition lessons by looking at tool safety and thinking about some of the equipment and materials we will use to create our photo frames. We all had a go at using a saw to cut a piece of wood. We then used sand paper to ensure the sides of our wood were smooth. We also used wood glue to join some of the wood together. We evaluated the process thinking about praises, notices and wonders. We are all looking forward to creating our own photo frames during the rest of the week.
Today we started to think about our next piece of writing, a monologue. We discussed what this was and looked at different examples, unpicking features. We then decided which animal we would base our monologue on then started researching facts on our animals appearance, diet, habitat and why it is classed as vulnerable. We are looking forward to continuing our research tomorrow!
What a busy morning in Crew Nursery! We have been working hard to make some super special surprises to bring home for the important people in our lives. We can’t wait for you to see what we have made.
I wonder what other fun things we will do this week?
We had a lovely proud moment on Friday for our Fantastic Friday Crew! We shared our final product for our last expedition ‘How have trains been on a journey of change?’ Crew MI are proud to say that we are now published authors. Hope you have had a lovely weekend and enjoyed looking at our beautiful work. Well done everyone 🙂
Over the next 2 weeks, the crew will be completing their Final product which has DT focus. They have designed their product and used natural resources to decorate but we need your help…
If you happen to be out and about, especially now the sun has made an appearance. We would really appreciate any of the following items;
Small stones/pebbles
Leaves
flowers that could potentially be dried
shells
twigs
sand
Cut off of any ribbons/wool – bits that would normally be thrown out
Any other natural material that could be used as a decoration on an item approx A5. The children can bring these in or I’m on the door in the mornings and afternoon.
We started Tuesday morning off with a Cojo challenge. It’s always lovely to watch the children work together and for their leadership skills starting to emerge. We definitely have children destined for leadership in their future careers. 🤩
Today, LKS2 have been testing the surfaces of different materials. We asked the question of how far a toy car could travel on different surfaces and which was best for going the furthest distance. This was a great lesson that had a great buzz to it. The children enjoyed it and are loving their experiments at the moment. Well done on a great lesson guys!
