A wonderful world book day!

Daniel Kennedy has a heart of gold!
Today I experienced true kindness. After thanking Daniel for bringing in Lego from home for his friends to play with during break and Golden Time, I asked him to come and choose a present from my present basket. He looked in the basket and picked out a present stating, ‘My sister loves these, I’ll…
A lovely treat for excellent behaviour!

What I love…
