Crew F2 really enjoyed celebrating Children in Need last week! We had lots of fun throwing the pies at Mr Williamson (we had very good aim!) and completing our Children in Need activities.

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!
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.
Den building!
Yesterday in our outdoor provision area, we were really excited to try and build a den! We found lots of pieces of material and used the wooden posts to try and create our very own den, but it kept falling down! After talking to each other, we decided that some rope through the holes in the wooden pegs would be a good idea to peg the pieces of fabric to! Once our den was built, we climbed inside and pretended that we were ‘sleeping under the stars’! Some of us even made a camp fire to keep ourselves warm and to cook our food on. We had lots of fun building our den.
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.
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!
Outdoor provision in nursery
Lots of teamwork and problem solving in nursery this week. The children were working together to build a run for the balls to travel down to get into the bucket at the bottom.
Using water to create paintings around the outdoor area has also been rather popular this week and we can’t wait to do more of this next week!
EYFS/KS1 Sports Day 2024
Pink team had an amazing sports day on Thursday, despite the incredibly windy conditions! A fantastic team with lots of teamwork and support on display – well done Team Pink!
Glow in the dark games!
This week, Crew MW got to take part in lots of glow in the dark games as part of sports week with Coach Nathan! We had lots of fun and showed off how skilled we are!
