Always be thankful

 It was December 2021 when Miss Jo, The Children's Coach contacted me and offered the girls free places in her January zoom class. This was the tutor who had organised and ran the summer fun project which the girls had been nominated and awarded for bravery. The girls absolutely loved her as a teacher and had immediately bonded with her. They wrote her letters and talked about her every day during this project. 

I took her up on this very kind and generous offer and the girls had a regular half an hour zoom class every Thursday on the theme of gratitude. The girls were the youngest ones in the class and they handled it really well. 

Sophia wrote the classes on the calender, scheduling in the lessons, for the month. Kira took a postcard written to her by Miss Jo, which she had received the previous year, to bed with her every night until the classes took place. She read it to me as her bedtime story. 

The first thing Kira said to Miss Jo on class, was to thank her for their summer project and other follow up craft box sets. 

The girls actively took part in the classes, keeping up with the flow and content of the class, interacting when expected and eagerly congratulating their class mates when required. Xander joined in with the classes purely to say hello to everyone. 

They completed all the homework tasks and eagerly shared their work. They took it very seriously and would get upset if something went wrong, they were so keen to produce the best work they could. 

It was a lovely experience of a virtual class for them.
