People show their true colours when things are tough and I couldn’t be prouder of my team today. Courageous and kind. Two of my very favourite qualities.

In such strange times, it's really important to think about how our children understand what is going on. They may have questions and worries and that's ok. This book is a lovely way of explaining the situation. Perfect for Early Years and KS1. https://t.co/ZLKIC2TIJT
