PE at Knockbreda Primary School
To mark the start of our work on transition to P1, the Nursery children visited Knockbreda Primary School for an energetic PE session in the school hall. Over the last year, the children have been working on their fundamental movement skills at Nursery and this was put to good work during our busy PE session! Well done Knockbreda Nursery!
Sincere thanks to our Chairman Mr McNeill for leading this PE session.
