☀️💦 Splish, Splash, Fun in the Sun! 💦☀️
Nursery 1 and 2 made the most of the sunshine today with some fantastic water play! The children had an amazing time with our water wall—racing ducks and boats down the pipes to see which one made it to the bucket first! 🦆⛵
Lots of teamwork, turn-taking, and giggles all around! 😄💛

Reception had a wonderful day yesterday at Gibside National Trust Park. We took part in a workshop where we looked for signs of spring 🌼. We made nature crowns and built nests for birds🐦. In the afternoon we had time to play at their fantastic playground! 😀 🌞

Class 5T visited Nissan for a robotics and coding workshop. We had lots of fun and used many skills including creativity and problem solving. We had to make towers with lego, program our car to go through obstacle courses and we even watched a robot draw us a picture! 🤖
