Keep up the effort and enthusiasm for this important aspect of our culture and heritage.
This week certainly had challenge for lots of us as we got to grips with division! The skill is proving very useful as we look forward to winning and sharing the £25 prize for the best Nursery Story Competition. We’ve made a superb effort and worked at using some of the classic features of texts for that age group. We worked in pairs and threes and produced such a variety of tales!

We were put through our paces this morning with a full fitness circuits workout from the Youth Coaches from Caley Thistle. Lots of glowing red faces at the end of our session. We liked the range of up beat music to help time and move us on round each activity. We’re looking forward to the next three weeks of activities. Not a football in sight today so hopefully some top skills tips coming our way now we’ve improved our fitness!
