Our Early Years and KS1 children loved having a dance with our other special guest, Twiggle the Turtle, and played some party games which included the other characters from their PATHS lessons. Our KS2 classes enjoyed watching the film 'Inside Out' which is all about different feelings and emotions. Each class also took part in their weekly PATHS lessons too.
Mrs. Reid and the team have worked incredibly hard to embed PATHS into our everyday school life and as one of only a handful of schools in the authority with Model School Status we are INCREDIBLY proud!
