After reading the story of The Three Little Pigs the children made their own houses out of bricks. We hope the Big Bad Wolf did not blow them down. 
 

We have had a fabulous start to our school year in Nursery with the children very excited to come back or join us as a new starter. We have been painting, cutting, playing in the home corner and even playing in the rain outside. Lots of fun.

For D&T day in Nursery the children made vehicles out of recycled materials such as cars, trains and London buses.
