There are all sorts of people all over the world, many are just like you and me. Not everyone lives in the same way, has the same beliefs or all the same things as we do. This book is all about remembering that no matter what our differences, we are all the same, we are all human, so we must always treat each other with kindness.

It's time for Twizzle Top of the Pops!

One of the questions we are always asked at the nursery is what songs we sing, as so often little ones come home with requests for songs you may not have heard of. So we will be sharing the most popular tunes in the nursery for you all to sing along to together. Children, don't forget to show your grown-up the actions!

Today we have our wonderful South Woodham Ferrers team singing Take a Ride in my Car, and Tommy Thumb (but probably not the version you know!)

Don't forget to upload a video of you all having a song and dance onto Blossom!
