Thank you to all the Grandparents and older members of the Reception children's families who helped them find out about what school was like in the past. There were some interesting differences including drinking milk from a little bottle, having to walk a long way home and no iPads in class! Some things stayed the same such as enjoying playing outside at playtime and having a yummy school dinner.

Our First Full Week in School
The children have done so well in settling into our routines and it's lovely to see their smiling faces each day! We are currently working on doing 'good listening' and have played some good games to identify the mystery sounds. We have also been going on 'listening walks' around the school to identify the sounds we can hear - some of them are very quiet sounds like the wind in the trees and others are quite noisy like the school bell at playtime. Playing 'Simon Says' has been a great game to play when listening carefully to instructions, especially when Mrs Chisnall tries to trick everyone!
