Nursery End Of Term Celebration
Thu 18 Jul 2024So, here we are, approaching the penultimate Friday of Term 6 and the end of the Nursery year. I can't quite believe we're here after a fantastic year of learning! And what a record you have of their learning with all the weekly blogs and photos which you can visit and revisit at your leisure on the school website.
The children have all coped marvellously talking about moving to Reception and those that will be coming back to nursery and will not see some of their friends that are moving. We have spent time in PSHE discussing changes which we hope has also helped those who are moving house. They asked questions and walked around to get a feel for their new learning space.
This week, the children had the fantastic time in the school disco and they all loved playing on the bouncy castle.
All that remains is to say a huge thank you to our wonderful parents/carers for helping with anything we needed in nursery and for all your support.
Have a super summer!
The Nursery Team
