This week at Gray's Farm
NURSERY
Because of the closure of school with the snow, weather permitting we will be ending our dinosaur topic with a number dinosaur hunt in the garden. Children will take part to hunt the eggs and put them in number order.
The rest of the week we will be starting our new story called "Whatever Next" so children will be exploring about space, number, light and dark and reflection.
Please refer to the notice board located in the garden for daily updates.
We will inform you as soon as possible the new date for World Book Day.
Thank you for your continued support.
