Nursery have been reading the Traditional Tale, Rapunzel. They showed great problem solving skills and resilience as they tried to make the tallest tower from wooden blocks and shaving foam cement. There was lots of talk and imaginative play in the water tray as they shared ideas to make spectacular potions.
