Graduation day for pupils at Nightingales Day Nursery in Norwich
Little ones soon to start their first day at school have been celebrating their time at a Norwich nursery with their own 'graduation' day.
The group of four-year-olds leaving Nightingales Day Nursery, in Bowthorpe Road, to start school took part in a special ceremony on Friday, August 24.
They donned graduation gowns and mortar boards for the occasion, which was watched by their proud parents.
Nursery manager Shirley Barker said: 'It was like a mini graduation ceremony and at the end they all threw their hats in the air.
'It was a nice way of saying goodbye to the children.
'It has been an absolute pleasure to look after the children and get to know their families as well.
'We wish them all the best for when they go off to school – we are sure they will do well.'
