Reception Inspire Workshop Monday 2nd March 2015

Parents Comments

I enjoyed today’s workshop very much. I love working with my child, and to see how he’s getting on. I am very proud. Thank you

The Phonics element of the workshop was very good. My son participated fully – The growing exercise with the cress, soil and cotton was informative and write dance excellent.

Very nice and pleased to work with my child I like the communication with staff

Had a great morning being able to understand what my son is learning at school. It was fun to spend time at school doing an activity with him. Look forward to next workshop.
