The children have been using their creative skills in expedition. Using fine motor movements and discussing the features of plants, to create water colour paintings with a range of lines and shapes that will be used within the community. Well done F2.
After reading the anywhere garden story we decided to make our very own, using play dough as a base for our gardens, the children used their fine motor, creative, and friendship skills to create many different versions.
To continue our crew building this week, Crew McGlone have worked really hard as a crew to create a piece of artwork. We discussed how it would take 1 person a really long time to decorate the large piece of paper on their own, but if we all helped as a crew to do a little section each then it would be done much quicker. We split the paper into sections and got to work! If a section was finished, we offered to help other members of our crew with their section – continuing to work as a unit to finish our final piece. We really like our finished piece and praise how section comes together to create a lovely pattern.
We had so much fun creating our Christmas cards for our grown ups!
We’ve had lots of fun celebrating Children in Need 2024 in Crew McGlone.
Crew McGlone have spent time over the last week discussing why it is important for us to think about those people who helped and continue to help to keep our country safe, and thank them for everything they do. We created fork paintings of poppies that Miss McGlone put together into a wreath for our whole school Remembrance Day display.
We then also made our own poppies using apples and carrots to print with inside a laminating pouch. Once they were dry, they were put through the laminator and we have put them on our classroom windows.
To celebrate Bonfire Night, Crew McGlone created firework pictures. We used cardboard tubes to print glitter paint onto black paper to look like fireworks exploding in the night sky. They looked really effective!
Using chalk paint on different surfaces and making music.
This morning, Crew F2 took part in a Diwali dance workshop with Miss Shelly! We’ve been learning all about Diwali in expedition this week and we have looked at the lights, lanterns and fireworks using videos to explore. Today, we experienced what Diwali dancing was like, and we loved it! It was so much fun!
Yesterday in Crew F2, we made oobleck! We mixed cornflower and water to explore the different textures we could feel when we put our hands into the tuff tray. We said that the mixture felt soft, gloopy and slimy. We had lots of fun exploring.
