Nursery Birthday Celebrations

24th September 2021Cathryn Henderson

Today we celebrated our first Nursery birthday! We had a wonderful morning singing happy birthday and making birthday cakes to share. Our birthday boy chose to make a banana flavoured cake. We had to use our big muscles to mash the bananas and whisk the mixture together. We then shared them. They were DELICIOUS!

  • Cuts and open wounds that need closing
  • Minor burns
