Our first two days in school and what can we say, they are all such shining stars. They are caring and compassionate towards each other. Their turn taking and sharing skills are incredible too! This has shone both days and our classroom has been such a calm, happy place. Every child has fully explored each area of their new classroom, and have done so with care! Tidy up time is so speedy, our children may only be young but they already show a great understanding of how to look after God’s world.
Today we have also been outside of our Reception provision. We began by introducing ourselves to our schools wonderful chefs, Jackie and Sharon! They made us smile and laugh and are very friendly! We are very excited to eat our lunches together next week… especially after hearing all of the yummy meals they prepare! We then headed out in small groups onto the big playground so that we are nice and familiar with all the wonderful spaces we can explore next week! We have had lots of fun!
LET’S CELEBRATE
As agreed, through our school council, our learning awards will no longer be handed out in assembly on Friday. We now have mini certficates for learning which can be given when we spot amazing learning in class. Keep an eye out for these - many will be coming your way!
The Virtue Star remains and will be awarded next week. We are trying to be Loving and Compassionate.
