The Kissing Hand
We have kick-started our learning this year with the beautiful story "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn in which Chester the raccoon isn't overly happy about going to school! So his mummy plants a kiss in the middle of his hand and tells him that this kiss will stay with him all day long and will remind him that he is loved and thought about even when apart from his mum. Following on from this, we made our very own raccoons.
