22 Street Lane Nursery - June 2024 Newsletter

June Newsletter NEWS The Very Hungry Caterpillar Week During May, the children enjoyed delving deeper into one of our favourite core stories, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’, as we spent a week focusing on the book, with lots of exciting activities throughout the Nursery! This included: making some healthy fruit salads using the fruits from the story, exploring a variety of themed tuff trays containing playdough, sand and rice, and seeing if we could move like a caterpillar and a butterfly! The children also enjoyed learning all about the life cycle of a caterpillar, watching their caterpillars emerge out of their cocoons and have now set the beautiful butterflies free!

World Bee Day Celebrations In support of ‘World Bee Day’ the children learnt all about why Bees are so important and how we can take care of bees to encourage biodiversity. Chef Oli also made a delicious honey loaf for everyone to enjoy! Did you know? • As well as honey, royal jelly, and pollen, bees provide products used in healthcare. • A third of the entire world’s food production depends on bees. • Bees are a good indicator of warmer weather and it’s common to spot bees buzzing around beautiful flowers during the summer months. Bees play an important role in pollinating trees and flowers, helping to provide habitats for wildlife. They also pollinate the food we need to survive.
