Miss Mew • October 17, 2025

TLDR:

  • Celebrated Aspiration Day with fantastic costumes and big dreams.
  • Met Emma the Paramedic and learned about her important job.
  • Walked to church for their first Harvest Festival.
  • Reflected on sharing, kindness, and community spirit.
  • Reception have settled beautifully into their first school term.

Reception Class enjoyed Aspiration Day, met a real paramedic, and celebrated their very first Harvest Festival together.

This week has been full of exciting firsts for our Reception class!


To kick things off, we celebrated Aspiration Day – and what a fantastic day it was! The children came to school dressed as what they would like to be when they grow up. From doctors and dancers to firefighters and astronauts, the classroom was filled with imagination and ambition. It was so inspiring to see the children confidently sharing their dreams with one another.


In preparation for Aspiration Day, Reception had a special visit from Emma the Paramedic last week. Emma spoke to the children about her exciting and important job, showing them some of the tools she uses and explaining how paramedics help people every day. The children loved asking questions and learning all about life as a real-life hero!


Then, on Thursday, we celebrated another big milestone – our very first Harvest Festival. The children did brilliantly walking to the church and sat so beautifully and respectfully throughout the service. It was a lovely opportunity to come together as a school community and reflect on the importance of sharing and giving thanks.


It’s hard to believe we’re already coming to the end of our first term at ‘big school’! The children have settled in so well, made new friends, and embraced every new experience with enthusiasm and joy. We’re so proud of them and can’t wait to see what next term holds!
