Stay and play sessions

Today the Nursery children invited their special grown ups in for a stay and play session to show off some of the skills they have been learning in maths. The atmosphere was so positive and it was great to see the children so enthusiastic to show their grown ups what they could and of course collect those all important stamps for their challenge card.
