The children spent time getting to know each other, building fabulous new friendships and finding out about each other. They then had fun imagining what they didn’t do on holiday- nobody swam with sharks or flew a rocket to space. To finish we shared the beautiful story, ‘Our class is a family’ by Shannon Olsen, and thought about what we each brought to our class family. ### Our class is a family
