Today was the first day back after the Summer Break and it was lovely to see everyone in school again and hear about their holiday adventures. Today was also special for our new children who started in our Reception classes! The children were very excited to explore their new classrooms and meet lots of new friends.
Their parents were given a little gift of tissues (which came in handy) and tea and biscuits to enjoy to keep them going until it was time to collect their child again. On behalf of everyone at Toner, I would like to welcome our new children and we look forward to getting to know you and your families. Your email address will not be published.
