World Book Day - The children came to nursery dressed as characters from stories they have at home. The Nursery adults dressed as the characters from one of our favorite traditional tales The three little pigs. The children became the narrators and recalled the story. The grown-ups acted out the story, following the children’s direction. We had a fun day!
