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!

Bonfire week in Crew Tymon.

This week in Crew Tymon we celebrated bonfire night. We explored mixing paints together with our hands to make fire paintings. We also put the fire out in phonics using spray bottles. Using our hand eye coordination to roll a ball to make a beautiful firework picture, we also practiced our cutting and fine motor skills. To end the week we had a sparkle and shine disco, and we showed everyone our best dance moves.

Halloween fun.

This week in crew we focused our attention on the upcoming celebration of Halloween! We start our day off with a sensory story. This week the children took part in listening and interacting with our sensory story, The Incy Wincy Spider, as well as participating in lots of messy Halloween crafts.

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!
