A.M- Fun Time Friday!!!

Posted on September 4, 2020 by Mrs Amos

Allowing the children to try out our umbrellas in the garden.

Unfortunately the staff can be just as bad as the children with the new hose.

Our new friends are loving sharing and taking turns… soaking their friends…

It has been a great laugh today…. no need for showers tonight.

The morning nursery got a little wet, we splashed in puddles, made play-dough/goop and had a fab fun time Friday outside in the sun!

The staff all needed a spare pair of clothes too!
