We also made some lovely Valentine's art for our families, we stuck buttons onto our heart templates - this was great fun and it promoted good fine motor skill development.

In March we took part in the Operation Transform walk with the whole school. We walked down to Tynan's farm every Friday and each week we extended our distance to increase our challenge.
