The girls said, “Mum can you come in?”, so I did. One played handball & one played tag, they said, “But don’t go Mum”, so I sat on the Buddy Bench. I just wanted to send an email while I sit here observing. It is so lovely to watch and hear happy children. Everyone is so polite and well mannered, playing beautifully together. Everyone is included and I even watched such kindness by a little one who noticed someone a bit shy this morning, so they approached her and comforted her while they walked to class, bless. It is a lovely feeling belonging to such a community that is full of positive, kind and genuinely caring people that show no effort at all to say “Good Morning” to me, both students and teachers, while I sat on the Buddy Bench! Maybe I will sit here more regularly.
