Respect Me Week

What an eventful Respect Me Week we had. We had many visitors to our class during this week who helped us to learn about; Respecting ourselves, Respecting Others and Respecting our Environment. We spent the entire week getting to know/playing with people that we wouldn't normally play with.  We also had an amazing afternoon playing with people from other classes. Our highlight of the week was a visit from Corinne from Finding Your Feet.  She taught us that we can achieve if we put our mind to it and that although we may look different we are all equal.
