Primary School" --- # Reception Celebrate Being Unique with Elmer! 🌈🐘 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0503.JPG) 23 October 2026 [Reception Blog](https://st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/category/reception-blog) Our final week of the half term! What a fantastic start to Reception life that the children have had. They have all settled wonderfully well and have all work very hard. We have finished this week by making Elmer masks. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the Elmer story, learning that we are all unique and wonderful. The children designed their own masks using what they have learnt about patterns to decorate their masks. We are very proud of the Reception children and hope that you have a restful week.
