Reception Stay and Play

So many of our Reception children were delighted to have their parents/guardians for a Stay and Play session this morning!! It was a chance for the adults to see their child in their school environment, happy and contented children = happy and contented adults!
It was so lovely to see so many adults today and especially lovely to see the adults joining in the fun times.
What can you give to one small girl?
A diamond ring, a baton to twirl?
A pretty pink dress with lots of bows,
or dainty sandals that show her toes?
A walk in the woods, a romp in the park,
a shopping trip from dusk till dark?
A shiny new bike, a kitten for a pet?
No, there's still time for such things,
yet...
Give her a day of her very own.
Just one small girl and her Dad alone.
Give her the gift that only you can,
the companionship of her old man.
Games are outgrown and toys decay,
but she'll never forget
if you give her a day.

St Thomas of Canterbury
