This week we have enjoyed singing all of our favourite Nursery Rhymes with each other and with schools within our trust. Lots of our language development comes from learning our nursery rhymes which makes it a very important part of our learning ☺️ We all came to school with our odd socks on Monday to show we are all different in special ways. We did lots of learning about how we are all special and how to be kind to each other 😃
