Views from pupils about families visiting school for Good News Assemblies

  • When I got the Headteacher award in assembly I felt really happy. When your parents are sat there in the audience you feel really special and proud (Kasha)
  • I felt happy when my family saw me get a certificate. Sometimes when I go home I forget to say what the certificate is for. But when they come into school they can see what the certificate is for (Maddie)
  • I was happy when my mum watched me get my certificate (Mia)
  • When I was in Class 3 I got a special award for good manners from Wendy. I sometimes get nervous but I also feel really proud especially when my mum is there (Bella)

Views from pupils about families visiting on 'Read with parents sessions'

  • It's exciting. Its also a good experience. It helps me concentrate (Elliott)
  • It encourages me to read and makes reading more fun. It's nice to have a family member in school (Kasha)
  • It's good for parents to see what happens in school and I really enjoyed my dad reading with me (Maddie)
