Dear Parents and Carers
I think there has been a misunderstanding in relation to our buddy system which we are running next year for our new Reception children. The letter which was sent out was to give permission for the children's photographs to be used in our new starter booklet, not for showing an interest in being a buddy. All children in Year Six will have buddy in Reception, we do have more Year Six children than Reception but we have given some of our Reception children two buddies. Each Reception child has been given a little booklet which contains pictures of their teacher, key worker and Year Six buddy, if permission of use was given. We intend to hold some events during the first week of term in September so that the Reception children can meet their Year Six buddy.
This is the first year of the program, so there will be ways of improving it after the first year.
Thank you for your support in this matter, we are very excited to be introducing this into our school.
