We have been discussing the life cycles of plants and trees within our expedition lessons. we used pictures to order the life cycle of a sunflower before using natural materials to show the life cycle of a sycamore tree.
A little late in posting due to technical difficulties, but Crew McGlone celebrated pancake day in the best way… by making pancakes and decorating them with lots of yummy toppings! They were delicious, thank you to Mrs Gilliland for helping us making the pancakes.
In Crew McGlone we have been drawing flowers, thinking about the shapes and colours we can see. We have been trying super hard!
Today we had a brilliant visit from the Ladies in pigs, they spoke to us about farming and how we can cook using ingredients used in the UK. Next time we go shopping we are going to look out for the red tractor badge on food. We enjoyed making a pizza in a pan. We all took it in turns to help chopping, rolling and measuring.
Children have been sent home with a cook book that can be used to make more recipes!
We have decorated our plant pots by printing patterns and shapes on them using stamps, flower stems and carrots.
As part of our expedition in Crew Welburn, we have been looking at how to keep our bodies healthy. As part of this, we have explored making healthy pizzas! Thank you to all of the grown ups who came into school to taste test our pizzas! The children were all really excited and loved having you in!
We have been creating pictures using different healthy fruits to print. Some of us even used some of the foods like a paintbrush and made other patterns and designs on our paper! The corn on the cob made a fun pattern when we rolled it like a rolling pin!
As part of our final product, we used sponges to print a pastel colour onto a plant pot. We will be filling our plant pot with compost and planting daffodil bulbs in them so we can watch them grow! 🌼
We’ve had so much fun shopping for our ingredients today!
Crew Welburn were so excited to see a new addition to our role play today – a supermarket! The children couldn’t wait to get into their choosing time to go and explore and it was definitely the busiest areas of the classroom today! The children showed how well they could share resources, take turns and develop their own story lines in their role play. Some of the children even showed off their writing skills by independently writing a list of items that they wanted to buy from the shop – amazing work Crew Welburn!
The children also used our healthy vegetables to explore different prints in the workshop, and made real Mr Potato Heads out of vegetables while explain what each part represented! Such a fun day for us all!
