This week’s blog is brought to you by Aaliyah, who has been with us on work experience. Thank you, Aaliyah.

This week, in Reception, the children experienced their Jump Up day and had lots of fun meeting their new teachers: Miss Dench, Miss Cannon or Mrs Barnes. Some children were initially nervous to move up a year but found themselves enjoying their first day. Alma said, “I was nervous; now I am not because it was fun!” and Reggie said, “I can’t wait for next year!”. The children had time to explore the classrooms after their introductory circle time, with Edie and Leyan agreeing that their favourite activity was painting and Ian enjoying the building area of the classroom the most. The children did a writing activity based on ‘Little Rabbit Foo Foo’. Maria said, “I had fun, it was good”.  Zoe, Ahmad and Yousaf played ‘Buried Treasure’ together before the children came back to Reception at the end of the day.
