This is a strange time of year.
On one hand we are all looking forward to the summer holidays but on the other we are really sad as we have to say goodbye to the wonderful Ducks and Robins. We also say goodbye to the children who are leaving Crabtree. We wish them both lots of happiness and good times in their new schools.
The last two days were really busy (as always). The leavers assembly was wonderful, you could see by how well our children sat that they were as interested as the grown ups in everything that the year children had to sing and say to us. Good luck in the juniors year two!
We spent some of our time cleaning up and sorting out the reception unit - the children were really helpful especially when it came to moving all of the old sand from the sand pit to the area next to the path - anyone looking in will notice that the rough area is now beautifully covered in bark and now looks much more inviting!
Our talent show was lovely too. The children confidently shared jokes, dances, karate moves, drumming, poems, songs and lots more with us and we all had a lovely time.
We would all like to thank you for the very genreous gifts that you gave us at the end of term - you are very kind. Obviously the gifts are greatly appreciated but the books with the children's contributions and the cards and letters are so very special. One child wrote 'Thank you for making me happy' what more can any teacher ask for?
So as this is the final blog for this year we would like to say thank you to all of the children and parents in reception 2010/2011 and to wish you all a fantastic summer holiday. We look forward to seeing the new Woodpeckers and Kingfishers in September - remember that children in all year groups are allowed to hug past teachers!
