Reception 4.7.25

What a busy and action-packed week it has been! Reception had a fantastic visit to Hastings on Tuesday. We explored the aquarium, and the children were absolutely fascinated by all the sea creatures. Some of their favourites included the delicate seahorses, and we all learned an interesting fact -did you know that stingrays are part of the shark family? They are essentially flattened sharks, which the children found amazing!

We were also incredibly proud of our little rays of sunshine during their summer show. They performed beautifully, and all their hard work during rehearsals truly paid off. It’s hard to believe this is the last week of term, what a special year it has been!

Thank you to all our families for your continued support. We will miss the children dearly and wish everyone a joyful and restful summer holiday!
