Class of 2028

Our thoughts, feelings and opinions are so important to us in Reception. By taking part in a very official vote today, we discussed what we could consider when making important decisions, how to manage our emotions and the importance of turn taking. We then waited with baited breath to find out…

Reception have had a very busy morning preparing and enjoying a traditional African tropical fruit salad.

What expert shoppers we have in Reception class.  They browsed, they queued, they paid by card and thanked their cashier.  Magnificent manners from the marvellous Reception!
