We have loved our learning about primary and secondary colours this week! We used powder paints to make primary colours and then mixed these together to make secondary colours. The children absolutely loved listening to calm music as we got busy. What a lovely Wednesday!
Today, Crew McLoughlin had a fantastic expedition science lesson learning about the different parts of plants and their roles. The class explored real plants kindly shared from Miss Newman’s mum’s garden, which made the lesson extra special!
Students carefully examined roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, discussing how each part helps the plant grow and stay healthy. They loved getting hands-on with the plants and spotting the unique features of each one.
This week, Crew McLoughlin became young scientists as they learned how to classify different plants. They looked closely at leaves, stems, and flowers – they even got to touch and feel many of the plants to notice their textures and features (but not the cactus, of course)! The crew loved comparing what they found and talking about how scientists group plants based on their characteristics.
In today’s expedition lesson, the children spoke about the role of a nurse to which they were shocked a nurse can be either male or female as many of them thought all nurses were female. The children were given scenarios and used their acting skills alongside a few props to recreate the scenario with their partner. Lots of discussions were happening alongside lots of great acting!
In Expedition we are learning about The Great Fire Of London and understanding people that help us in our community. The children have used their cutting skills to cut out fires, paint fires and paint their hands to make our firefighters to put the fires out!
