Be a Bucket Filler

We have been talking about being 'bucket fillers'.  We all have our own invisible buckets and we can all help make people feel happier if we help 'fill each other's buckets'.  What is one way you could fill someone's bucket today?  What could you say?

What is special about today?

Today is Monday AND it is the 29th of February.  Does anyone know what a 'Leap year' is?

Wiggly teeth

Brody has lost his first tooth.  Can you see the gap?  Have you lost any teeth or are you still waiting for them to be ready to fall out?
