🌈 Nursery Newsletter – 10th July 2026 🌈

What a wonderful week we have had in Nursery! The children have been busy exploring, learning and having lots of fun as we continue our bug-themed activities.

🐞 Monday

At Scribble Club, we read What the Ladybird Heard. The children showed a great understanding of the story and enjoyed discussing the events and characters. We then drew our own beautiful ladybirds.

Later in the day, we were excited to find a real ladybird! We carefully placed it in our bug catcher so we could observe it closely. We talked about how to handle living creatures gently and made sure to let it fly away safely afterwards.

🐸 Tuesday

Some Year 4 children visited Nursery to give us a talk about the pond and the newts. They spoke confidently and shared lots of interesting information. We were very proud of our Nursery children, who listened patiently and showed excellent attention throughout the presentation.

🐛 Wednesday

During Family Groups, we took part in a bug scavenger hunt. Working with a partner and using clipboards, the children searched carefully for different bugs and creatures around the outdoor area.

They found lots of interesting mini-beasts and have continued to show great curiosity, independently exploring and searching for bugs during outdoor play.

🦋 Thursday

During Circle Time, we planned our upcoming Ugly Bug Ball Party together. The children came up with some fantastic ideas and discussed:

• Why we need invitations
• Our favourite bugs and which bugs we would invite
• Party food and the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods
• What costumes we might wear

The children also decided that every good party needs cakes, so we agreed that cake making should be part of our preparations!

🔔 Friday

In PE, we played the listening game "Who Has Stolen the Bell from My Castle?" The children had to listen very carefully to work out who had taken the bell while their eyes were closed.

Everyone did a fantastic job using their listening skills and took turns beautifully.

🌻 Throughout the Week

This week we have also been:

• Finishing our bug hotels
• Enjoying imaginative play with our bug explorer outfits
• Investigating mini-beasts using our new magnifying glasses
• Taking part in lots of water play to keep cool in the warm weather
• Watering and caring for our growing sunflowers

The children have shown fantastic curiosity, teamwork and enthusiasm throughout all of our bug-themed learning.

⭐ Looking Ahead

We are very excited for our Ugly Bug Ball Party next week and can't wait to celebrate all the wonderful learning we have been doing about bugs and mini-beasts!

Have a lovely weekend!
