What a wonderful start we have had to the school year! Our First Class pupils have been incredibly busy adjusting to their new routines and classroom rules. They are adapting brilliantly to the longer school day and are already working hard.
One of the highlights of our new morning routine is our daily Morning Meeting. The children have been thoroughly enjoying this time together, especially because it features a very special member of our room: Pineapple, our class bear! Named by the class themselves, Pineapple plays a big part in helping us settle into the day.
Each morning, Pineapple is passed around our circle. As each child holds him, they answer a special morning question, sharing their thoughts, feelings and favourite things with their peers. This lovely tradition has been a fantastic way for the children to practice their speaking and listening skills, bond as a group, and start every morning with a smile.
We are incredibly proud of how well everyone has settled into First Class. Keep up the amazing work!
