Spring 2: Week 6

Thursday 03 April 2025

Hello! I’ve had a wonderful second week back in Reception. I’m really looking forward to supporting them in their last term in Reception.

This week, we’ve been super busy doing the new chilli challenges in the areas of provision. Lots of children have amazed me with their fantastic independent learning – well done Reception!

On Monday, the children had lots of fun looking drawing self-portraits. Check out our new gallery! Can you spot your self-portrait?
