Newsletter Spring Term - Week 8

Dear Parents,

😊

This week, the weather was amazing, so we spent a lot of time working outside. The children did a great job following the nursery routine!

Our topic this week was “All About Me.” We talked about their families, their favorite activities, and what they do after school. The children also drew self-portraits while looking in a mirror and created family trees.

During group time, we continued learning about colors, adding orange and purple to our vocabulary.

For our art session, the children made a fluffy tree with Shabina and bunny ears with Semhar.

Our book of the week was Cuddle Me, which we read together during group time, acting out the story with different teddies.

On Thursday, we celebrated World Book Day! The children came dressed up in wonderful costumes, and we encouraged them to explore and enjoy books throughout the day.

Thank you for your continued support!

Best regards,

Linda
