Your handprints are a story written just for you.
As you grew, tiny lines began to appear. Your magical marks, no one else in the world has the same ones.
We are embracing and feeling proud of who we are.
Using magnifying glasses we looked at each others hands and our unique patterns.

It's a pumpkin!
It’s a PUMPKIN!
Mrs Shield’s Nan grew an enormous pumpkin from a tiny seed. She nurtured the seed to help it grow.
She gave it soil, water, put it in the sun and sheltered it from the cold weather.
She wanted to share it with us as an act of kindness. We are so grateful. Diolch! #SAPSEngaged
