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!
Nursery Sports Day
A huge thank you to our grown ups for coming to our nursery sports day. It was lovely to see so many of you and the children were fantastic!
Crew MW – PE
In PE this week, we started looking at fundamentals, starting with balancing. We imagined we were tightrope walkers at the circus and began by practising walking in a straight line with our arms outstretched to the side. We then used a balance beam to walk across, concentrating on how we could stay balanced. Some of us were a little apprehensive about this beforehand, but as a crew we encouraged everyone to have a go and we were all successful!
Glow in the dark ball skills!
We had so much fun with our PE coaches this morning! We learnt lots of new ball skills like bouncing balls and throwing balls! We worked in teams to use our ball skills to collect the pirate treasure and then counted up the treasure to see which team had won! Once we knew how to play the game, we turned off the lights and played it while we glowed! It was so much fun!
St George’s Day Celebrations
Yesterday, we spent our afternoon celebrating St George’s Day in Crew MW! We begun the day by learning about who St George was and what he did to earn a special day in England. Some of us then decided that we wanted to make a shield just like St George had while we were in provision. We got to work cutting the shapes out of the cardboard (although this bit was tricky and we needed some help), and then decorated our shields using tissue paper, pompoms, coloured pencils and feathers.
At lunch time, we had a special picnic to celebrate! It was delicious!
In the afternoon, we chose to make fearsome dragons like the one St George defeated! We followed the steps to cut out the different pieces, then joined them all together to create our scary dragons!
