New to Big School ......


"I am a bit frightened about what it's going to be like going from being at the top of this school to being at the bottom of a big new school.....

..... the children made masks to explore the difference between how they were feeling inside, and how they presented their feelings to people around them.

"On the first mask I made I wrote 'scared' to say how I felt," says Imane.
"But after talking about it I felt a bit better, so I made another mask which said 'confident' on it."

"One thing about making masks and writing our feelings on them
was that we could see that we all felt the same inside,
however we looked on the outside,"
says Anna Asiamah, 11.
Fahmida Khan, 10, agrees.
"It was easier to write down how you were feeling on a mask than to have to say it out loud - but once you'd written it down, it became easier to talk about it," she says.
