This week is Transition week for Reception. The Reception children will take part in 4 different activities to allow them to explore the Year 1 classrooms and meet their new teachers. The Year 1 children will be helping the Reception children and answering any questions they have.
They have been spilt into 4 groups-the bakers, the gardeners, the divers and the rock stars. Each group will be inspired by a book each day-The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, Cupcake by Charice Mericle Harper and Only one you by Linda Krantz.
The Reception children will join Year 1 for playtime each day too.
Each day we will ask the children about what they did.
