Star Bakers and Decoration Makers

5th October 2021Gemma Whitehead

Crew Nursery have been making birthday cakes, chocolate crispy buns and party decorations as part of their expeditionary learning this week.

Before making the cakes and crispy buns, the children explored the ingredients and described how they felt. The children liked the texture of the sugar best! After discussing the recipe, the children listened carefully to the adults instructions and measured the ingredients out carefully before whisking and mixing them together. The children showed good turn-taking skills throughout the activity!

Fun in the Forest.

The children have loved exploring the Forest area with Miss Haddock and Miss Ferguson this morning.

They worked in pairs to explore the area and find mini beasts. They took care to pick the insects up with tweezers and put them in a magnifying tub to look more carefully at their features.

We carefully put them back afterwards into their homes so they were safe.

We’ve had a great start to our week in Crew Wilson!

Jumping backwards down the number line to support the concept of one less

Exploring segregation in expedition this afternoon – Blue eyed children were treated differently to brown eyed children, we realised this is discrimination and we made a stand to be kind to everyone regardless of their characteristics.

Work Hard – Dylan – A little superstar today, smashing his learning and working so hard in every lesson

Get Smart – Levi – Using his listening ears to make sure he could properly understand what was been discussed in maths

Be Kind – Joshua – For not joining in with saying unkind things to the blue eyed children in expedition, even though the rest of the brown eyed children were.

Week 5 completed in Crew Fox ✅.

We’ve got better this week at editing our writing and checking our content with a peers support. This is taking us a bit of time to get used to but we’re getting there! We are also working hard in our pairs across the different subjects. This is getting better as we are trying to focus more and work better with one another…

During maths, we’ve used Kahoot quizzes to time ourselves when answering questions. This is going to help us improve our pace! We are also getting quicker at our magic math sessions, working on our counting, place value and other arithmetic skills!

Today was our second session of Scotty’s Heroes. We are getting fitter physically and mentally after these sessions… it’s tough but we are loving it 😅

Our HOWL average was 2.2 (beating last weeks 2.1) which means we get to spin the wheel for a reward!!

Have a great weekend everyone,

Mrs Fox 🦊
