It has been wonderful to have a full classroom again. The children have thoroughly enjoyed seeing friends they have missed and exploring the classroom. We have all had wobbly moments, with things feeling overwhelming and very different to what we have been used to in recent months. I am so proud of the love and compassion the children are showing to one another.

We have had a busy week of playing, exploring and reconnecting. We made our own dance mats with chalk outside and used the instruments to create some cool dance moves, we made colour jigsaws for our friends to solve and had a lovely discussion about our friends and what we like about their characters and personality and what do the do that makes us smile. We have created some lovely artwork, inspired by Year 6, we are going to finish and share on our blog next week.

Enjoy the pictures at the bottom of our blog to see what else we have been busy doing this week!
