Crew Godley had a great time trying to build the tallest tower using only paper and cellotape. We worked in groups to find ways to make our towers tall but also sturdy so that they could stand up on their own.

Caring Crew in MI
Today we talked about the the physical and mental benefits of being active. We discussed the last activity we did that was physically demanding then discussed the main benefits of physical activity. Our activity allowed us to think about the practical ways that can increase our physical activity levels. Our debrief allowed us to make our own pledges that will increase our own physical and mental wellbeing.

Celebrating St George’s day!
We loved learning all about St George and how he fought a dragon. This afternoon we enjoyed our St George’s quest and completed a range of activities.
Celebrating St George
In Crew this morning we discussed who Saint George was and why is is celebrated on 23rd April. We worked collaboratively to make a handprint dragon as part of our crew challenge.
At lunchtime we enjoyed our indoor picnic served in a union flag box!
Finally this afternoon we completed our St George’s Day quest. We had to complete three craft activities including pointillism dragons, collage shields and a London inspired Union flag. The children loved taking part in all the activities and collecting stickers when they completed a challenge.
What is democracy?
This afternoon, we celebrated St Georges day by looking into the story of St George. We learned that St George was a Christian who lived in Turkey. He became a Roman soldier at the age of 17. The ruler at the time wanted to punish Christians but St George stood up for them. Unfortunately he was punished for this but his bravery didn’t go unnoticed. He was rewarded and became a patron saint. We then looked at the British Values, in particular democracy. We found out that democracy means that everyone has a say and the right to vote. You have to be the age of 18 to vote but that didn’t stop us. We had 3 politicians who had a manifesto. We then went to the polling station and cast our vote on a ballot paper. Shelby won our vote by gaining the majority!
Maths in Nursery
This week, in nursery, we have been learning about and practicing sorting in different ways. We have been mainly focusing on size sorting- big vs small. The children enjoyed sticking the different pictures into their piles and helping baby bear and big bear get the right food for their picnic.
The luminous magical tree
Today in our experience lesson we followed the singing into the woods to find the tree which was singing. We found the leaves were swirling and dancing to a magical, luminous green, old tree. We thought it looked different to the city we had just travelled from. We made some beautiful artwork to showcase what we had seen.
The lost toy dance
In our PE lesson we have enjoyed creating our own dance thinking about toys in a toy box. We have got very good at counting in our heads to make sure we are all in time and doing it together.
Monday crew- Earth day!
In crew this morning, we celebrate Earth day and found out it’s theme this year is planet vs plastic. We was really excited to find this out as we managed to use our recent expedition knowledge (final product) to support our thinking. We know lots of ways to protect our planet such as, recycling, using less plastic, using bikes, turning off the taps, turning off the lights, planting trees and reduce our waste. We then completed a sorting activity based on what things are good for the planet and what things are bad for the planet. We need to protect our planet everyday, not just on Earth Day as there is no planet B!
