Today Yr2/3 welcomed back our friends from Cumber Claudy PS. In the week prior to mid-term pupils in St. Mary’s PS had engaged in activities marking Literacy Week and Children’s Mental Health Week. As Yr2/3 compiled their ‘smile list’ of things that help them feel good, pets and stories emerged as having a very positive impact. Today’s shared education session was introduced by a story that captures this beautifully. ‘Everywhere With You’ by Carlie Sorosiak tells the story of a little girl reading to her neighbour’s dog through the fence and the bond and imaginative adventures that develop. With today being National Love Your Pet Day pupils engaged in a range of play based activities with pets as a theme. Pets were welcome additions to the home area, dream pets were designed, homes for pets constructed and making origami pets was an extremely popular activity. A fun day was had by everyone and lots of pet stories shared.
