Early Years

The children are back at school, filling our Reception classroom with laughter, memories — and of course, a handprints on the toys and walls! After all, what’s a school without children?

During our first week, we spent time getting to know the children, learning about their likes and dislikes, and meeting their families. Together, we established our class rules and expectations and even wondered what our school might look like if we didn’t have any rules at all!

We also began exploring our new focus story, Owl Babies. The story’s about three baby owls who feel nervous and scared when their mother leaves, but are comforted and reassured when she returns. This helped us talk about how it’s perfectly normal to feel anxious when we’re away from our parents — and that at school, we can also seek comfort from our teachers as we make new friends.

We look forward to a fantastic academic year ahead, full of discovery, creativity, learning from mistakes, and helping each child grow and thrive to their fullest potential.
