We had an exciting delivery today in Crew Welburn…Some new play-dough resources had been delivered to help us with our fine motor skills so that we can make our fingers nice and strong! It was a very popular area of provision all day, and the grown ups were all really impressed with how well the children were challenging themselves to use the new tools and to use their fine motor skills, and focussing on what they were doing
In crew today, we created animals out of leaves, can you guess which animals we made?
We had lots of fun in Crew Welburn last week. We explored our provision areas, began working on our final product plant pots so that the base coats were dry, and began looking at how the numbers 4 and 5 are made within our maths lessons. We also had a go at challenging ourselves to independently make and write words using our phonics sounds! Miss Welburn was very impressed with our Fred talk and blending.
This morning in Crew McGlone, we had a fruit tasting session! We tried a number of different fruits: banana, grapes, melon, nectarines and blueberries. We noticed that some of the fruits were juicy, some were even a little bit slippery and kept jumping out of our fingers! We worked on talking to our peers using full sentences by saying which fruit was our most favourite and which was our least favourite.
In provision we chose our favourite fruits to add to our wooden skewer to make a fruit kebab. We had to be really careful with the pointed end of the skewer and we tried really hard to concentrate so that the fruit went on and did not fall off.
Then came the best part… snack time! We got to enjoy our kebabs with milk at snack time. We talked about whether our kebabs were tasty or not and what our favourite bit was to eat! There was even spare fruit that we got to share between us as an extra treat! Yummy! 😋
We had great fun learning about how light travels and how we can use a periscope to look around corners. We enjoyed exploring how light reflects off the mirrors into our eyes so we can see.
To follow on from our History hook activity, the children have had a lovely afternoon sketching a camera.
LKS2 would just like to say a well done to the children for their performance today and huge thank you to adults for coming. We couldn’t quite believe how many attended.
We hope you enjoyed the show and seeing the beautiful work that the children have been able to create throughout this Expedition about the Second World War!
Today we started our festive art work! Children were so excited to start this and are all looking forward to bringing it home on Friday 🙂
LKS2 continued to work in their artwork, after practicing their Van Gogh skills yesterday. Today, we applied that to our watercolour paints.
Here are the results!
LKS2 have continued to work on their art work as they practice and take inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night that will be used to show the negatives and positives of the Blitz.
Check out our practice attempts below!
