A shared love of books in Reception.

In Reception, we are passionate about reading for pleasure. The children made the most of the beautiful sunny weather by taking their love of reading outdoors.

They showed their creative side by building their own cosy seating using playground resources and a few cushions and blankets. What a fantastic way to relax with a book.

Reception visit Hackney Library

As part of our World Book Day celebration, the Reception children enjoyed a visit to Hackney Library. They explored the children's section and took part in a storytelling session. The visit was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate books and encourage a love of reading for pleasure.

World Book day: a lovely tradition continues in Reception!

For World Book Day, our school continued its long-standing tradition of older children reading with the younger classes. This year, Reception welcomed visitors from Year 5, who spent time reading a selection of books with them.

Many of the Year 5 children remembered being in the same Reception classroom themselves just a few years ago. They were pleased to return as more confident readers and share stories with the younger children.
