16/6/2008 - New classroom for Longtown nursery

Longtown’s Pear Tree Nursery is set to unveil its new classroom tomorrow (17 June).

Photographers are invited to the nursery (located next to Longton Primary School, Mary Street) at 9:00am for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. 

Consent has been arranged for a photo opportunity involving children at the nursery who will be taking part in the ceremony.

The purpose-built classroom, which has been paid for through an Awards for All lottery grant, has more space for the nursery’s pre-school children to brush up on their numeracy and literacy skills. 

Children will also be able to use the room for role-play sessions and other learning activities. 

The refurbished area will help the nursery meet new play-based learning requirements in the curriculum.
