One of the highlights of my week last week was watching the new Reception children tasting their Diwali foods. It was very tempting to join in, for one thing, but also fantastic to see the class really thinking about new flavours and experiences and getting fully involved. Parents of our Year 1s and 2s will well remember those Early Years experiences and will be marvelling at how time has flown since their own child’s Diwali food-tasting sessions last year and the year before, and it was also lovely to see how the older pupils were reminiscing about their early experiences in school and how much they have grown up!
The other highlight for me last week was watching the Sixth Form Reading Mentors encouraging and reading with our pupils: as teachers in a Trust working with children of all ages, it’s a dream scenario to see how learning can be passed on from the oldest to the youngest and, dare I mention, in what seems like the blink of an eye, I just know it’ll be our pupils doing the same for the Hunsley Primary children of the future – a brilliant thought!
