As part of Mission Day, Year 2 focused on the line of our school's mission statement:

"We love and help everyone because we are all God's special children."

The children designed and decorated their own hearts of love and helping hands, explaining ways in which they show love and help others. They then each wrote a 'You are Special' note to another member of our class, whose name they pulled randomly out of a box.

The children's work was all stuck into a mission day card, which we will keep on the Alter in our class and refer to throughout the year.
