Working in groups, children created their ‘Element of story’ wands and discussed their favourite characters from different stories. It was a day dedicated to learning through the world of compelling books and reads!

Wearing Easter-bunny head-gears, children hopped and danced to collect Easter-eggs in their baskets. A giant craft Easter-egg was designed by the children using strokes of colourful hand-impressions and finger painting.
