🌈 Nursery Newsletter – 18th September 2026

Another great week in Nursery! The children are settling in so well and continuing to develop their learning and friendships.

Following on from their interests last week, we continued exploring dinosaurs and where they lived. We created an exciting sensory tray featuring a volcano and discussed whether dinosaurs are still alive today. This led to some wonderful circle time conversations about our planet, who lives on it, and the people we live with at home. The children enjoyed looking at family photographs together and noticed that some of their friends have big brothers or sisters, while others have younger siblings. Many of the children were also excited to tell us all about their pets!

Last week, the children were fascinated by colour mixing, so this week we extended this learning by making our own playdough. We talked about autumn and explored which colours we could mix to create yellow, orange and red. The children enjoyed squishing different colours together to make new shades that were lighter or darker.

After developing a love of construction play last week, we continued to build in our builders' yard, creating towers, bridges and houses. We also worked together to build our own Hot Wheels track, carefully following instructions and testing out our designs.

Although it may seem early for Christmas, we have also started creating backgrounds for our Christmas cards. The children explored mixing winter colours, squirting paint and making wonderfully messy creations before scraping the paint to reveal beautiful winter scenes.

We ended our week with a PE session where we pretended to be dinosaurs, flying, stomping and tiptoeing quietly around the hall. To finish the day, we shared the beautiful story The Invisible String, which was very much enjoyed by everyone.
