Welcome back to High Five. Our theme in this issue is to Be Nurturing. You’ll find that there are a lot of things we can nurture and look after, even our talents! Take some time in your last few weeks of term to look after yourself and each other. Pictured is a ipad/tablet with an image of a student playing a musical instrument and a teacher. There is an image of a hand to reflect - High Five. Also included is the EA logo and Primary behaviour support and provisions logo.
