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!

Diwali Dance!
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!
Exploring textures
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.
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.
Life skills.
This week in crew Tymon we have been exploring life skills within an indoor and outdoor environments.
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!
Painting (and doughnuts!)
Painting has been a firm favourite in Crew MW this week!
After all that painting we definitely deserved a treat… doughnuts! Thank you for bringing the doughnuts in Oliver, we hope you enjoyed your birthday!
