Happy Easter, Reception!
Date: 4th Apr 2025 @ 5:10pm
As another half term draws to a close, I am feeling incredibly proud of the children and very lucky to spend my days with such a joyous class.
I wish you all an incredibly happy and blessed Easter. We have had a wonderful week of Easter learning and celebrations, including making Easter nest cakes, making Easter cards, going on an Easter egg hunt, decorating an Easter tree, bunny hopping and Easter egg and spoon racing in PE, and a morning of Easter activities together with the preschool children. It has been lovely to observe how thoroughly and thoughtfully Reception have remembered and understood the Easter story. They show such a beautiful understanding of the importance of Holy Week for Christians and it has been such a delight to observe their enthusiasm for sharing this ‘good news’ with others. This really shone through as we delivered Easter cards and daffodils around the village. The children were just delightful and were very chatty and polite when talking to the residents of Brereton. They were so excited to have brought such joy to others and I was a very proud teacher!
Today, we said goodbye to the truly amazing Mrs McAree. I have been so lucky to have worked with Mrs McAree for the last two years and I know that we all feel that there aren’t enough words to express our thanks. I know that our wonderful class have thrived as a result of her teaching, care and Mrs McAree magic, as so many children have throughout her teaching career and as so many lucky children will on her new adventure. As our Reception class continue to flourish in the summer term, we know that it will be thanks to the superb foundations that Mrs McAree has built with us since September. Mrs McAree, you are ‘Simply the Best’!
I hope that it is a lovely (and restful!) Easter holiday; the children must be feeling tired after working so hard this term and must be so ready for a break! Mrs Mayson and I shall really look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday 22nd April where our exciting exploration of Space begins!
With huge thanks and warm wishes,
Miss Witham
