The new Reception class are settling in well, getting to know their new rules and routines. They have also met their year 6 buddies. Reception class have been enjoying lots of outdoor play and fine motor skills activities. The children are sharing their Chatterboxes with the class a collection of special objects they collected over the summer.
We all got changed for P.E. today and we had a fun time exploring movement in the hall.
