We loved meeting Harold the giraffe today! He was telling us all about our wonderful bodies and how to keep healthy. 

Today a special visitor came to see us.  It was Harold, our favourite giraffe.  He helped us to learn all about making friends and keeping them.

It has been lovely to get to know our new friends and we are looking forward to meeting up again very soon.
