We have decorated our plant pots by printing patterns and shapes on them using stamps, flower stems and carrots.

Pizza Party!
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!
Using healthy foods to print! 🧑🎨
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!
Decorating plant pots – final product preparation! 🪴
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! 🌼
Shopping for our pizza ingredients
We’ve had so much fun shopping for our ingredients today!
Learning in provision
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!
Popular Play-dough!
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
Creating animals out of leaves!🍁
In crew today, we created animals out of leaves, can you guess which animals we made?
Week 2 in Crew 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 🍇🍈🍌🫐
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! 😋
