🌱 Nursery Newsletter – What a Wonderful Week! 🌱

What a busy and exciting week we’ve had in nursery!

On Monday, in Scribble Club, we shared the story Jack and the Beanstalk. A few children had heard the story before, and many were able to guess which story it was just by looking at the pictures. We talked about the characters on the front cover and enjoyed joining in with the repeated words, with lots of help from our Reading Ambassadors. It was a very interactive and engaging experience.
Afterwards, we drew our own beanstalks, carefully noticing how they swirl and twist as they grow, and adding green leaves. Some children chose to include characters from the story, and we talked together about who appeared in the book. We enjoyed the story so much that we created our own Jack and the Beanstalk small‑world area! Using Lego for the beanstalk, castle blocks, puppets, and transparent coloured blocks, the children created a truly magical storytelling space.

On Tuesday, we practised our days of the week and were very proud that we knew it was Tuesday! In our family groups, we worked on our scissor skills and rolling skills using playdough. We also enjoyed throwing a rugby ball, focusing on turn‑taking and calling out each other’s names. It was especially lovely to welcome a visitor, Mrs White, who used to work with us in nursery – the children really enjoyed seeing her again.

On Wednesday, we continued working in our family groups and enjoyed listening to the thunderous weather outside. We talked about and listened carefully to the different sounds made by the thunder, rain, and hailstones.

On Thursday, we were excited to meet some new friends, and we are so pleased with how well they have already settled in. In Monster Phonics, we learned about different types of houses and shared our ideas together.

On Friday, we finished the week by practising our ball‑throwing skills in teams, continuing to build confidence, teamwork, and coordination.

What a fantastic week it has been! We can’t wait to show our new friends all the fun and learning still to come.
