Thursday 7th March

Wow, what a brilliant morning we had at nursery today!

Lots of us were dressed up as book characters to celebrate World Book Day - even the teachers!  We met at nursery with lots of mums, dads, grannies, grampas and little brothers and sisters and then we walked over to the park to start our Sponsored Walk. When we got there Mrs Blain explained that we had to follow a particular route around the park while trying to spot some hidden pictures of popular childrens books and space images.

These are just some of the pictures we had to be sharp-eyed enough to track down.

After one lap around the park, we were all pretty damp and cold so we decided to head back to nursery. Along the way, we spotted the big purple book bus parked in the Health Centre car park and thought we'd see if we could have a look around.

Well, that turned out to be great fun and it's just as well that Mrs Blain is such a persuasive lady because the workers on the play bus were a bit flummoxed when our whole nursery class and parents etc first turned up. Upstairs there were songs and stories with actions and downstairs there was lots to look at too. We were all given a free book and a sticker when it was time to get off the bus.

We walked back to nursery and had a special snack of teddy crisps and water. 

Then Anna's daddy William (who plays music and sings in a band) kindly brought in his guitar and we had great fun singing with him and doing the actions. He even managed to get first the nursery teachers up to dance to the Hokey Cokey and then the mums to do Head Shoulders Knees and Toes.

Our teachers are amazing for organising such a fun event for us. We think they are pretty amazing anyway - even if their choice of underwear is unexpected!

Mrs Blain is an Alien in Underpants while Mrs Friel and Mrs Rowney are The Queen's Knickers.

Here are a few more photos of the fun we had today.
