Friends with Tami

Every Thursday we are lucky to have Tami who takes our friends programme. We have been using Spike the talking tool to share what makes us happy. We're talking about different feelings we feel. We feel scared, happy, nervous, grumpy, lonely and mischievous.

"You have to make bubbles!" - Cruz

"It sounds like the sea!" - Bella T 

"We made some pictures of our bodies and our feelings." - Ashton

"We did bubbles with the straws because it was for practice." - Beau 

"With Tami we did some bubbles with water bottles and we also some people had some straws. They had cups too. It was so fun." -Tom
