Our Nursery 1 children, Class of 2024! 

We are beyond proud of all your hard work this year! You have all grown so much and we have seen your little personalities shine!

Our Nursery 1 children loved their trip on ‘The Ratty’ today!
We loved singing songs on the bus ride to The Ratty. We watched out the train windows for different animals on the way. Once there, we enjoyed a picnic lunch before playing on the play park and returning on the train.

Some of our younger Nursery children enjoyed a visit to the book bus yesterday afternoon. 
They listened to a lovely story before choosing some books to bring back to Nursery and share with everyone.
