Aspire in Nursery - a visit to St. Peters.

20th Mar 2026
The Nursery children were so excited to travel on the bus to St. Peter's Nursery last week. We had lots of fun playing in their Nursery and getting to know our new friends.

Justin from Rugby Tots took a fun Rugby session focusing on skills and making friends.

The children warmed up with a version of rugby stuck in the mud. The children with rugby balls had to tag their friends, the children were 'free' when another child crawled through their legs. The children had to use their observational skills and dodge in and out of the space.

Next the children developed their team work and throwing skills - taking it in turns to throw the bean bags into the hoops. It got a little trickier as the hoops were moved further away!

Finally the children worked on their listening skills with a fun game with Justin. They had to follow the instructions Justin gave. The children were amazing and listened so well.

We were so proud of them all. We can't wait to welcome the children from St. Peters to us next week. Thank you so much to out fantastic parent helper who made our trip possible.
