Reception

We have been delighted with how well the Reception children have settled into their new environment over the past few weeks.  The children have been engaging in lots of different activities and playing with new friends.  Many children are looking forward to activities and learning yet to come.  Rather than us tell you what they’ve enjoyed, we’ll let them tell you in their own words.  These are excerpts from a recent discussion about the beginning of the year:
