Today we all introduced ourselves and shared some unique information. Every time a child spoke, they held onto the string. At the end we had a brilliant spider web! We then discussed how we had all showed our uniqueness, yet we were all connected. God made us with individual talents and qualities, yet we are all part of the Year 5 family. Welcome to the class and we hope everyone has a great year!
