We started Nursery Rhyme Week by singing and exploring the rhyme ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’! We listened to the rhyme during our YMI session then some of our friends created their own ‘pie’ for the king! #WorldNurseryRhymeWeek #EarlyLanguage

*NURSERY* Continuing with the interest before the October holidays some of our wee ones were keen to bake. We confidently baked wholemeal fork biscuits today to have with our fruit at lunchtime. Excellent independence skills on display. Well done! They tasted so good too. 😋 🍪
