Reception Rocks

 

You are braver

than you believe,

Stronger than you seem

and smarter than you think.      AA Milne

 

How brave our little Reception children have been, who arrived back at school, with masks on and very large eyes waiting at the gate to have their temperature taken, sanitise their hands, walk through a shoe bath and wait for their teachers to collect them. They quickly adapted to social distancing, sanitising and having a plastic screen between their desks. Being back at school with their friends and lots of fun activities quickly outweighed all the above. The children have loved being back in the classroom spending a fun, happy, busy morning back in the environment they so enjoy. Here are some quotes from the children after lockdown:

 

‘I missed playing with my friends, I had nobody to play with.’ Zingisa

‘My Mommy taught me lots of things at home.’ Ryan

‘My Mommy made me an office to do my work.’ Rumaisa

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Thornhill Primary School website, filled with information which, we hope, will attract your interest and serve to give a sense of the rich flavour of life at our school.
