In preparation for pancake day tomorrow we have set up a tuff tray for the children to practise their cooking skills! 

Today we talked about God loving us and Jesus’ teaching to love one another.  We made a list of all the people we love in our lives.  Each of the children and staff members in nursery contributed by passing a wooden heart to each other so that we could say who we loved. We then thought about how…
