New Starters Visit the Pre-Prep Happy Hub
This week, our new Year 1 and Year 2 pupils were warmly welcomed to the Pre-Prep Happy Hub, where they were greeted by a very special guest – Bob the Minion!
Bob shared that he’s new to Rupert House too, and admitted feeling a little nervous about starting at a new school. The children could relate, opening up about their own “wobbly” feelings during their first days. Meeting new teachers, making new friends, and adjusting to a new environment can all feel a bit overwhelming at first.
Mrs Sheriff reassured the children that feeling this way is completely normal. She encouraged them to think about and draw what helps them feel more comfortable when settling in. The children came up with some fantastic ideas, including joining in games at break time, chatting with classmates, telling a joke, asking a teacher for help, or even holding a parent’s hand at drop-off time.
It was heartwarming to see the children supporting one another and already beginning to settle in so well. We’re very proud of how confidently they’re embracing their new school adventure!
