🌼 Nursery Newsletter

The children are continuing to really enjoy our topic “Minibeasts” and have been asking lots of wonderful questions as their curiosity grows!

🐞Monday We read the story “The Bad-Tempered Ladybird.”
This sparked lots of discussion about:

• Feelings, especially being angry
• Sharing and making good choices
• Comparing sizes – who is the biggest and smallest

Tuesday We had a lovely crafternoon with Reception, sharing the experience with parents and grandparents. It was wonderful to see everyone working together.The children who were unable to attend still had a special time in Nursery.

Wednesday We continued making our Father’s Day cards, adding extra details and care to our work.During circle time, we observed our caterpillars, noticing how much they have grown. We are very excited to watch them continue to change!

We ended the day by learning the song:
🎵 “There’s a Worm at the Bottom of the Garden”

Thursday After revisiting “The Bad-Tempered Ladybird,” we explored real-life ladybirds and learned:

• How many legs they have
• The different colours they can be
• That their red colour helps warn off predators

The children then created their own painted ladybirds, carefully: Painting a red circle, waiting for it to dry.Adding black details.We discussed how wet paint mixes—and discovered all our ladybirds might turn black if we didn’t wait!

Friday In PE, we continued our family groups work, pretending to be insects with Mrs Pandolfi.
While moving confidently, the children also learned the names of insects in Italian—which they loved!

Back in Nursery, we carried out an investigation into melons:

• Watermelon
• Cantaloupe
• Honeydew

After wondering if they were all the same, we looked inside and discovered that they are actually very different! We are so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the children have been this week. Their curiosity and excitement for learning continues to shine every day.

Next week the children who are moving up to reception in September will start visiting and meeting the teachers. Have a lovely weekend.
