Week 2 in Crew Welburn

16th January 2023A Welburn

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.

Nursery hook week – Tasting fruit and making fruit kebabs 🍇🍈🍌🫐

9th January 2023Sarah Mcglone

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! 😋

Crew MI- making a periscope

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.
