Welcome to week 5! 

As some of you may know this week is Children’s Mental Health Week. Now more than ever it is so important that children are given avenues to be able to express their emotions, feelings and thoughts. That’s why, for this week, we will be doing two wider curriculum activities based around the theme of ‘Express yourself‘.
