Reception have enjoy

Reception have enjoyed sharing their 'All About Me' boxes which gave their new teachers and classmates clues about them through the items they brought in. We’ve seen pet treats, artwork, family photos, resin mini beasts, favourite stories and teddies, and lots more exciting things.

It’s been lovely to get to know each other better and we’ve been really proud of the respectful listening of others’ presentations.
