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.

LKS2 have been learning how to effectively use water paints, for a background in their third and final Case Study! This is to create the effect of smoke, as would have been seen in British cities during the Blitz!

After completing backgrounds, Years 3 and 4 were then preparing to practice a variety of sketching techniques in preparation for sketching landmarks that will from part of the same piece of art, so please keep your eyes peeled!

F2 – Poppy Fork Painting

14th November 2022Sarah Mcglone

In Crew Welburn we used our fork painting skills to create pictures of poppies for Remembrance Day. We started by using our forks to print an outline of a poppy flower before using the same printing skills to fill in the middle to create the red petals. After that, we used a round pot to draw around to create a black circle that we then cut it out using scissors. To finish, we glued the black circle in the middle of our flower to create the centre of the poppy. The finished products look absolutely beautiful, I am sure you will agree!
