That first year of primary school is something quite special. But being a teacher in Reception is something else. It’s pretty amazing. For each child, it’s a momentous journey and you are a huge part of it. It’s a year full of surprises, of organised chaos and glitter (eco friendly, of course). In fact, if you haven't got glitter everywhere at the end of the day then you probably can’t call it a Reception classroom.
A day in the life of a Reception Classroom
You learn to predict the unpredictable (no lesson quite goes to plan, and no day is ever the same). Regardless of this, you come into school each day ready, as one can ever be working with 5 year olds.
The calm before the storm. You savour that moment of stillness, when you feel the most organised, the chairs are still neat and there isn’t glitter and playdough smothered into the carpet just yet. Then it’s time, the doors open. In they bound, eager to see you, desperate to share an anecdote or to show off a toy, teddy or hidden gem.
