🌈 Nursery Newsletter

What a wonderfully busy and exciting week we have had in nursery! Here are some of the lovely activities the children have been enjoying:

🐝 Monday

In Scribble Club, we read “The Very Greedy Bee”. The children were full of excitement and asked lots of thoughtful questions. We talked about the importance of sharing and helping each other.

After the story, we drew our own greedy bees, focusing on which way to turn our paper and creating large oval shapes. The children did an amazing job! We enjoyed the story so much that we are saving our bees for another activity where we will colour them for a display.

🐛 Tuesday

We carefully observed our caterpillars and noticed they have now made their cocoons. We talked about how long they might stay inside, how they will come out, and what they will turn into. The children were fascinated by these changes!

🧁 Wednesday

In our family groups, we had great fun decorating bug biscuits. It was tricky to squeeze the icing, but everyone persevered and did really well. The edible eyes were a big hit, and eating our creations led to lots of funny conversations!

In another group, the children enjoyed playing games such as Shark Bite and Buster’s Bones. There were lots of screams of delight as they carefully tried to take pieces before the games “got them”!

🎶 Thursday

We practised our song, “There’s a Tiny Caterpillar on a Leaf”, helping us learn more about what will happen to our caterpillars as they change.

We also showed the children how to carefully move the cocoons into a net and explained why it is important to be gentle and look after them.

🌿 Throughout the Week

• In the garden, we have loved using our new spray bottles to water the plants and even clean our chalk bug pictures.
• In the sensory tray, the children enjoyed threading caterpillars.
• We have also been busy painting and creating our very own bug hotels.

📅 Reminders

• INSET Day: Monday – Nursery will be closed
• We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday
