P2 Roots of Empathy News

P2 Miss Low’s class have completed their Roots of Empathy programme with instructor Mrs Harris-Toner.

Each week the children enjoyed getting to know Baby Mila and seeing how she was changing and growing.

We connected with our Roots of Empathy family through wonderful photos, videos and news of Baby Mila sent by her mum Caroline

The lessons gave the children an opportunity to share their feelings and experiences. The children’s especially enjoyed the art activities and thinking of their wishes for Baby Mila as she grows up.

Last week the children were delighted to receive their well deserved certificates.
