@nourishworkplce @Headteacherchat Makes such a difference.

[Stretton St Matthew’s @StrettonStMatts]

@nourishworkplce @Headteacherchat We have done all sorts!

We painted canvas of each other! These went up in the staffroom!

We have done pub quizzes and snacks, Christmas wreath making, we have learnt new skills eg pasty making and made pies to take home tea.

The point is to spend quality time together.
