Today we voted for our first class text. We chose 4 different books, read the titles and blurbs and then had a post it note to vote for the one we wanted to read. We can’t wait to read Dave the Pigeon every day after our lunchtime break with Mrs Myatt :) 

Our first 3 days in Nursery were so fun! We met our new teachers, made new friends and explored all of the different areas in our classroom and outside!
