For the last week and a half, we will be focusing on everything that is Christmas and Celebrations! Expect homemade cards, songs and maybe even some sweet treats. During this time we will be having a 'Stay & Play' Christmas craft morning, enjoying a Christmas dinner with the whole nursery, showing off our groovy moves at our class party and performing our Nursery Performance!
