🌈 Nursery Newsletter – 16th october 2026 

What a busy and exciting week we have had in Nursery!

This week we started our Family Groups and Scribble Club sessions. In our small groups, the children have been enjoying Kim’s Game using autumn treasures. This helped to develop their maths and memory skills as they carefully looked at and remembered different autumn objects.

Another group had great fun hammering golf tees into pumpkins. The children demonstrated excellent concentration and perseverance while developing their fine motor skills. We also practised our counting skills as we worked.

Scribble Club

In Scribble Club, we read a factual book about hedgehogs, linked to our autumn learning and the wonderful animal photographs families have been sharing with us. The children were fascinated to learn that hedgehogs have poor eyesight and use their noses to help them find food. We also discovered where hedgehogs live and what they like to eat.

Afterwards, the children created their own hedgehog scribbles, carefully thinking about the different features: an oval-shaped body, triangle-shaped face, round nose, four legs, prickles and two big ears. We were so impressed with their fantastic creations!

Welsh Learning

All week we have been practising Welsh greetings and phrases. On Shwmae Day on Thursday, we linked our Welsh learning to the children's interest in weather by learning the song “Sut mae’r tywydd heddiw?” ("What is the weather today?").

We have put together a short video showcasing some of our Welsh learning and will be sharing it on Google Classroom.

Wear Red Day

Friday was an important day as we took part in Wear Red Day to support the message of giving racism the red card.

During circle time, we talked about how we treat one another and discussed ways we can make our friends feel welcome and included. The children shared thoughtful ideas about being kind and being a good friend.

In P.E., we played games that encouraged teamwork and looking out for one another, helping us to reinforce these important values through play.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping with our autumn learning at home. We love seeing the children's photographs and hearing about their discoveries.

Have a wonderful weekend!
