Storytime featured 'Goodbye Rain Clouds', which is designed to show how life’s difficulties can be overcome with the right support.

A series of short films about children with learning difficulties and medical conditions were also shown to promote inclusion and understanding. Year One made a list of things we are thankful for, which maybe some children don’t have.
