Dear Parents / Carers,
What another busy week it has been in Class ! The highlight of course was our trip to Skegness. We were so lucky with the weather, and had such a wonderful day. Thank you to you, our amazing parents for supporting the trip and making it so successful. We have wonderful memories to cherish of our time in the sea and on the beach with our class 1 friends. The train ride was fun too!
I can't believe as I'm typing this, that we are approaching our final week together in Class. It is at this time that Class 1 staff reflect on the past year, and what a year we have had! We have had the best time teaching Reception and Year 1, and feel so proud of all the children. It has been an absolute pleasure to see the Reception children develop during their first year with us, and to see the Year 1's continue their learning journey, each child has made our class so special. We have learned lots of new knowledge, celebrated lots of achievements, laughed, cried, worked on our values and learning to learn skills, repeated our mantra of 'choose it, use it, put it away' to the point where most of us are better at tidying up! Teaching in class 1 we feel is a special place where all the magic happens. We sadly have to say goodbye to our Year 1 children, but feel so lucky to have taught them for two years. We now get to watch them grow as they move through the school and develop in so many ways. We are ready to continue the journey with our Reception children who will be our Year 1's in September, and being role models in helping to welcome and settle in our new Reception children.
We would like to say a very big thank you to you, our wonderful parents who have supported and worked in partnership with us this year.
