This morning we took time out to reflect on how we are feeling and how reading can improve our wellbeing as well as allow us to develop empathy for those around us. We watched a virtual assembly with the author Tom Percival, who read a chapter of his new book and showed us how to bring emotion into our drawings by considering how the eyebrows and mouth are drawn.

At the end of the assembly, he challenged us to take just ten minutes to read and we all spent ten minutes enjoying a good book! Some of us couldn’t even put our books down at break time!
