The Reception children have settled into school beautifully. They have been enjoying lots of learning through play, building friendships and settling into school routines. There has been some amazing creativity, teamwork, sharing and learning of new skills already!

Here are a few photos of our week so far.

We have enjoyed singing nursery rhymes and creating music with the instruments outside!
