Twig Letters
In XP outdoors today the children made their initials using twigs, string and wool. First they looked for twigs and then they got the string to tie all the pieces into place for their initial. After that they then got some wool and made it look pretty.
Enjoying our new classroom and our first week back after half term!
Crew McGlone were very excited to explore their new classroom after half term. They have really enjoyed getting to know where our resources are kept and the areas we have in our new room.
Whilst we were enjoying our half term holiday, the season definitely changed and we noticed LOTS more golden, crunchy leaves had fallen off the trees in our outdoor area. We loved playing with our friends in Crew F2 and we worked together to collect them up and create big piles for us to play in. We even found some mini-beasts and insects!

Crew Hamill were working on their team building skills today where they did loop de loop and lilly pads. In loop de loop they all joined hands in a circle and then they had to get the hola hoop round the circle without breaking hands. Then in lilly pad they were split into 2 teams where they had 6 rubber spots and they had to get their team from one side to the other without falling off.

Crew Godley had an amazing time at Scotty’s . They did den building and then played hide and seek. This is definitely a life skill they need.

The children really enjoyed making stickmen in the forest area using natural resources and then they work as a crew to make a gaint circle.
Crew F2’s ‘Be Kind’ challenge
Last week, Crew F2 worked hard to show that they were a kind crew. We talked about how in Autumn, the leaves fall off the trees and stay on the ground. We decided that we would get our brushes out and clean up some of our outdoor area to make sure that we could see all of our equipment when playing, and to get rid of the rubbish from outside that had blown in off the street. We did a fantastic job sweeping and using the wheelbarrows to collect the leaves!

Crew Welburn loved getting out in the forest and getting muddy. They found lots of interesting bugs. We even found slug eggs.
Thrive/Team building
Crew Hamill worked really well today. They supported each other when working together to complete the challenge. They did the amazing shrinking blanket, bucket challenge, getting the ball from one end of the hall to the other using their crew mates but without no hands! Then we used our skills to remember what action the person infront did and then passed it down the line to the last person.. But we didnt alway manage this and this is something we need to work on.
