Our First Day in our new Nursery Classroom

We are so excited to be back in our newly refurbished Nursery Classroom. On our first day we observed a variety of feelings and emotions, from quiet bewilderment, to happy dances and jumping for joy. We saw wonder, amazement, curiosity, creativity, problem solving , communication and collaboration. We also loved seeing the inquisitive P3 boys peeping through the door to see what was going on! Who knows what we’ll experience next week?! We are so lucky!
