AnonyMouse_2157 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 HI there folk.. we are hoping to hold our first ever 'graduation' ceromany at the end of term (I'm sure I got the idea from here!!). We are going to make mortar boards and give the children their 'degree' (laminated certificate with a photo of 'graduate') and a bit about why they are so special. We will have a special assembly for them with the head and invite parents etc and have tea coffee too. A friend suggested inviting their new teachers and support staff to pop in as another way of getting to know them. Anybody done this before? and if so is there anything else tha you find really works? cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hello Apple the nursery at my school do this every year or at least the last two. It is lovely and last year i had planing time during the morning of graduation and was able to go in watch and meet the parents. The parents love the occasion. it is a lovely relaxed morning and way good way to meet the parents, much more informal than the intro evening. the children had seen me twice before on morning visits but that was all so it was nice chance for them to meet me again. (reception teacher). I hope i can get chance to pop in again this year. have a fun morining Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 we do the same thing almost. all thechildren and parents are invited to come to nursery in the morning. Each member of staff is invited to say a little speech about the year we have had etc. The children each come up to collect their certificate , this is wrapped together with a poem and tied with ribbon. the parents then go for coffee while the children have their photo's taken. In afternoon we usually have a party for all the leavers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
