This week in Nursery, we have continued to get to know your children. The children have been showing off their fabulous learning skills and where they enjoy to learn in Nursery. Some of our children have been keen to make cakes ready for our Macmillan coffee afternoon. The children worked together to make enough so everyone will get a cake. They taste delicious!

We have really enjoyed our week of being police officers. We came into nursery to find someone had messed up our home corner. We became police officers to investigate what had happened.
