<h3>What Would You Like To Be? (PSED Link)</h3><p>What sort of person would the children like to be? Here's a version of a song that we used to sing in my family when my sister and I were children. I wanted to be a cowboy so that I could ride horses all day and rescue people from danger (I didn't realise it had anything to do with cows or being a boy!) It's an opportunity for the children to talk about what kind of person they want to be when they grow up.</p>                                                                    

<h3>My Hand-print Tree</h3><p>Use finger paint in a tray. Each child puts the palms of their hands into the paint, then presses them onto a big piece of paper, with their name on, to make six prints. When the paint is dry, cut out the handprints. Each child paints a brown tree-trunk on paper and sticks the prints at the top, like leaves.</p>                                                                    <div class="img img_sml">        <img class="lazy_img" src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/bernard-hermant-1065742-unsplash.jpg" alt="Bernard Hermant 1065742 Unsplash">    </div>                                                                <h3>A poem and picture about me!
