🎆 Nursery Newsletter: An Explosive Start to the Half Term!

What a fantastic first week back we've had! The nursery has been buzzing with excitement as we explored the theme of Bonfire Night through a jam-packed week of creative learning and sensory fun.

🔥 Learning and Circle Time

We kicked off the week by discovering the story behind Bonfire Night using BBC Bitesize. During circle time, the children shared what they already knew, who was planning to see fireworks, and how the loud noises made them feel. We talked about ways to stay safe and brave during firework displays.

🎨 Firework-Inspired Activities

Our little artists got busy with a dazzling array of firework-themed creations:

• Chalk fireworks on black paper

• Homemade playdough with sprinkles and beads to mimic fireworks

• Peeling and sticking shapes on the vertical sticker board

• Drawing fireworks in glittery, colourful sand

• Spraying water to clean chalk fireworks off the board

• Printing fireworks using cardboard tubes

• Painting with glue, salt, and pipettes for a magical effect

🍫 Tasty Treats and Movement Fun

We even made our own chocolate and breadstick sparklers — a delicious treat that was as fun to make as it was to eat!

To finish the week, we danced with scarves in PE, using our bodies to become rockets — jumping high and low, moving slow and fast to music. It was a joyful celebration of movement and imagination.
