It has been a fantastic week of full days in Reception, I think there will be some very tired children and teachers this weekend! We have been getting used to our routines, tried PE in the hall and on the field and met Mrs Curtis our Art teacher who joins us on a Tuesday.

We are really working on showing patience towards others and explaining our feelings it has been lovely to see friendships growing. Reading the Colour Monster story has sparked lots of conversations about times we have felt, sad, happy, worried, calm, angry or loved. This week we also used iPads to scan QR codes to listen to stories and play games, it was great fun! It was lovely to see the children explaining what to do on different games to their friends.

On Friday morning we joined Year One, Year Two and Year Six in the hall for assembly, the children sat beautifully and listened to Miss Hornby. She told us how important it is to follow the example of Jesus, by using kind hands and kind words. Next week we will be talking about kindness in our class worships and being kindness detectives in our classroom!
