Reception each drew around their hand. Inside their hand they wrote their name and drew some pictures of their favourite things, including hobbies, animals, colours etc.

We spoke about how we are all different and we like to do different things, but we are all connected because we go to the same school, some of us like the same colours/hobbies etc and we are all friends.

(this was a class carpet discussion)

We then displayed them in the classroom like a wreath making sure all our hands were touching and “connecting” together.

We also had a class discussion about why are dressing to impress. And the class teachers introduced them to the compliments jar which you can see has been filled up throughout the week so far.
