🌈 Nursery Newsletter – 23rd October 2026

What a lovely way to end the term!

This week we enjoyed making hedgehogs in our family groups using the playdough we had made ourselves. During Dough Disco, we practised rolling and splatting before creating our hedgehogs by rolling playdough, adding straw spikes, googly eyes and pom-pom noses. The children have loved continuing this activity throughout the week in our playdough station.

In our other family groups, we have been exploring colours and challenging ourselves to spot them as quickly as we can. Outside, inspired by pumpkins, we made orange potions in our cauldrons, adding sparkles and whisking up magical spells!

Thank you to all the parents who attended our open evening on Wednesday. It was lovely to share your children's achievements and progress with you. If you were unable to attend, please remember that you are always welcome to catch me before or after sessions, or arrange a separate time if you would like to discuss your child's learning or have any questions.

In Scribble Club, we read Pumpkin Soup. The story inspired us to make our own pumpkin soup and gave us opportunities to talk about friendship and kindness. The children helped to prepare the ingredients, with some enjoying scooping out the gooey pumpkin centre more than others! After carefully following the recipe, we tasted our soup with bread and butter on Thursday. The reviews were mixed, with plenty of thumbs up and a few thumbs down!

To finish the week, we used our leftover pumpkin for a science experiment to see if we could make it explode. In PE, we continued developing our parachute skills, working together to move in a circle, launch balls into the air and run underneath. It was great fun and a wonderful way to practise teamwork.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the term. We hope you all have a wonderful and restful half-term break. 🍂🎃
