Tuesday 22nd of February, being 22/02/2022, we held a special celebration we called Tutu Day, due to the date sounding just like that. The idea behind Tutu Day was purely about fun. Over the last couple of years, our community has had so much pain, suffering, and isolation. We all deserve a little fun! Tutu Day was about bonding, having fun, and enjoying something for no other reason than fun.

My families are encouraged to let me know about interesting events happening in their children’s lives so I can support or extend their learning with a related fun activity.  So, when recently a family told me they planned to visit the multi-sensory van Gogh exhibition at LUME, I thought the children here could all have a bit of fun, being inspired by some of van Gogh’s famous artwork.
