The new Reception class were very excited to get outside into the writing area, and although many of them were enjoying mark-making or writing their name, it was great to see their enthusiasm.

Some of the Year R children were using older brothers, sisters and cousins to write messages for them. One of them seemed to be dictating a love letter!

One little girl stayed in the writing area all playtime, and wasn't distracted by any of the chaos around her! Hopefully she'll continue to visit as she gets older.

The writing area is beginning to look a little tired after the summer, but we now need to start to think of the writing area at the new school! Any ideas are welcome.
