This week at Gray's Farm - W/B 17th July
Week Beginning: 17th July 2023
NURSERY
Well we are very sad to come to the end of our nursery journey this week, but excited to begin our new journey from September. The children will be taking part in one last visit to their new class this week and making new friendship groups. A reminder that the Graduation Ceremony is Thursday 20th July, starting at 12.30pm in the hall. Children can wear their own party clothes. We look forward to celebrating with you. Thank you for your continued support.
RECEPTION
Well...where has the time gone? In the blink of an eye our little September starters are leaving us for Year 1! We are so proud of how much they have achieved this year. We will miss them but we know that they will love Year 1!
So, this week we have our open afternoon on Monday from 2pm where you can come to look at your child's Learning Journeys and then take them home with you. Tuesday afternoon is the second opportunity for your child to spend time with their new class teacher. For the rest of the week we will be finishing our topic around castles and knights and sending any bits home that the children have made.
We hope you have an amazing summer and thank you for your support this year - The Reception team.
