Today in forest school the children made their own cardboard flower pots. We used our fine motor skills.

Pyjama and Teddy Day in Crew McGlone!
We started our week by having a pyjama day! We also brought our favourite teddies into school with us and they spent the day finding out about what we get up to at school. We did a bear themed movement break and we really enjoyed lying down and snuggling our teddies whilst listening to ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. We sat with our teddies at snack time and got a lovely surprise when we realised it wasn’t a fruit snack… it was a special chocolate biscuit! We had a lovely day!
Creating artists in Crew McGlone
We have been really interested by the creative area when accessing provision. There have been lots of beautiful pieces of artwork created by our budding artists in Crew McGlone! We have looked at the equipment needed to create a painting and have practise putting it to good use to create our masterpieces.
A surprise visitor in Crew McGlone!
Whilst we were having fun in the sunshine in our outdoor area, someone (or something) visited our classroom and left us a little gift! We noticed that there were footprints near our reading area, along with a mystery gift bag. We talked about what might have left the footprints and what might be in the bag.
Miss McGlone then told us that the mystery visitor had been caught on camera and showed us pictures of a bear stood in our classroom! We said that the bear looked cute and fluffy and that it must be a kind bear because it left us a present! We predicted what we thought might be in the bag before finding out it was a… book! A book called ‘The Everywhere Bear’. We used our noticing lens to talk about what we could see on the front cover and thought the story might be about children at school who find a bear. We cannot wait to read our new story and we feel very lucky that the bear decided to leave us such a lovely gift!
Making playdough with Mrs Mason
This afternoon in nursery, some children decided to help Mrs Mason make our new batch of playdough! We looked at the ingredients and helped to tip the correct amounts into the bowl before taking it in turns to mix. We then waited patiently for Mrs Mason to take the mixture to the microwave which is when the magic happened! Whilst we waited, we decided to tidy away the mess and wipe the table so we left no trace (Dexter even got the hoover from the home corner out to hoover the table!). When Mrs Mason returned, as if by magic, the mixture was now playdough! We then spent the afternoon playing with it, using our hands and some tools to manipulate it into lots of different creations.
Our first few weeks in Crew McGlone
We have had so much fun during our first few weeks in nursery! We have spent time getting to know our classroom, identifying where our equipment belongs, and making new friends in our crew.
Crew McGlone family learning afternoon!
Thank you to the grown ups who joined us in school to take part in Crew McGlone’s first ever family learning afternoon! We had a great time working together to follow instructions to make sun-catchers. It was lovely to see so many people join us and the smiles on faces just made the whole afternoon worthwhile. We look forward to having our grown ups in school again soon!

Today we went and explored our forest school to see if we could find some bugs. We were super smart and followed all instructions.
Our first afternoon as Crew McGlone!
We have had a lovely afternoon as the new Crew McGlone! The children have been exploring the classroom and the outdoor area, and making friends with our new crew members. We have all worked really hard to listen to our adults and follow their instructions first time. We have also been working hard to sit on the carpet with our legs criss-crossed. A fabulous first afternoon!
