🌈 Nursery Newsletter – 11th September 2026

Our First Full Week!

What a wonderful first full week we have had in Nursery! We are incredibly proud of how well the children have settled in, making new friends, exploring their environment, and learning new routines.

Throughout the week, we have enjoyed playing ball games to learn each other's names and have been busy discovering all the exciting areas in the nursery and garden. Favourite activities included exploring the sand, sharing stories in the tent, pretend cooking in the home corner, rolling playdough, and pouring and mixing in the water tray.

Monday

Dinosaurs were a huge hit this week! The children enjoyed lots of imaginative role play, which inspired us to create our very own Dinosaur Land outside. We explored wet and dry sand, discussed the differences, and practised being independent during snack time. The children also loved racing vehicles around the car garage and exploring the different toys available.

Tuesday

The children had great fun riding bikes, chasing friends, and learning how to take turns. We built impressive towers using bricks and enjoyed adding diggers and vehicles to our sand play. During circle time, we looked at photographs showing our friends' favourite activities and talked about which activities we had tried ourselves. These were then added to our Chatter Board for the children to share and discuss independently.

Wednesday

We became builders and engineers, creating roads across the nursery floor and extending them into our sensory tray using car mats and train tracks. The children used a variety of resources to build houses, tunnels, and different structures. Outside, we continued our sand investigations, using buckets and spades while exploring whether we needed more or less water to make the perfect sandcastle. In the water tray, we experimented with colour mixing, making predictions about what would happen when blue and red were mixed together.

Thursday

Our Dinosaur Land continued to be a popular area, with lots of digging, exploring, and imaginative play in the sand. The children also enjoyed sharing and discussing items on our Chatter Board with their friends. During circle time, we focused on using the toilet independently, discussing how adults are always available to help and reminding ourselves about the importance of washing our hands.

Friday

We finished the week with a fantastic PE session in the hall. There was lots of laughter, running, jumping, and excellent listening. The children impressed us with how beautifully they lined up and followed instructions. We enjoyed playing games such as Stop and Freeze and Duck, Duck, Goose, which were enjoyed by everyone.

A Message from the Nursery Team

We are so proud of how well all of the children have settled into Nursery. They have shown fantastic listening skills, growing independence, and have been kind and caring towards their new friends. We are looking forward to another exciting week of learning, exploring, and having fun together!

Well done, Nursery! ⭐😊
