What a busy day! We had the Playvan here this morning and the under fives group came to play too. We also had visits from Primaries 1-3.

Before the playvan we had a play in nursery. We’re still building towers -and enjoying knocking them down again.
We are enjoying trying out the dressing up clothes.
Trying out the nursery resources while looking forward to starting soon.
Sean had loads of stuff in the van and set it up for us.
Cars and farm …

Soft play …
