The nursery children were very excited today as it was the day of our book bag gifting and all our anti-preschool children were receiving their bag with lovely new books and activities inside. Our preschool children were not forgotten and were delighted to receive a new book to take home.

Some of our parents and grandparents attended the gifting and along with the children were very excited about our special visitor. The Book Bug came along to our nursery to give the boys and girls their gifts. The children enjoyed giving him hugs and high fives and loved showing him our new nursery. After our gifting the parents and grandparents went with the children in to their key groups and the teachers read the group one of the books from the anti-preschool bag. The adults were able to observe our voting system and were involved in choosing what book each group read. We used the title, cover and author to help us make the decision. We all then enjoyed reading together and listening to the stories, discussing afterwards what we liked about it.

This was a lovely way to spend our session at nursery and a super way to encourage families to read at home together and learn more about the books they enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who supported this event.
