We were very excited in Nursery this week when a very special delivery arrived: a tub of our very own ‘Hungry Caterpillars’! We’re looking forward to watching them grow over the next few weeks. Our story of the week is ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ – it’s taught us all about the life cycle of the butterfly and now we’ll be able to watch it for ourselves.
The children’s interest in minibeasts has continued in all of the Nursery provision. Outside, we’ve found lots of creatures hiding under logs including wood lice, spiders, slugs and some very long worms. Inside, we’ve been busy threading beads to make caterpillars and exploring our indoor small world area.
We’ve enjoyed the sunny weather this week, planting some more vegetables. We really have got green fingers !
We’ve also had lots of discussions about keeping safe in the sun. We know that we need to wear our sun hats, use sun cream and drink lots of water.
Help at home
Listen for the initial sounds in words. Find three objects, two that begin with the same sound and one that starts with a different sound. For example, car, cookie, banana. Can your child spot the odd one out? Say the name out loud, emphasising the initial sound.
Next week
Our Book of the Week is a poetry book. Your child will be able to identify the rhyming words.
Our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Incey Wincey Spider. You can sing this together at home.

Please remember a sun hat, sun cream and water bottle. Please ensure that all sun cream is clearly named.
We hope that you have a happy and healthy long weekend. Nursery will open again next week on Tuesday 06 May.
