The children all seemed confident when explaining their learning. It was good to see how the same resources are used in different ways across the whole school. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201dIt was amazing to experience the classroom environment from my son&#8217;s point of view, he gave me a little tour and pointed out things that are important to him. I also enjoyed getting to talk to the various organisations present in the hall.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGetting to interact with the whole class, getting to know our children\u2019s peers, seeing their work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSeeing the kids before they knew I was there was great. They looked so happy. I loved seeing first hand what they do in class. They were both so proud to show me around. So they should have been! The stalls in the hall were brilliantly set out and, from what I could see, very informative.
