Roots of Empathy Programme
Fri 21 Nov 2025💚🖤 Roots of Empathy 💚🖤
This year, P5CM are taking part in the Roots of Empathy program, which helps children develop emotional literacy, kindness, and understanding. Throughout the year, we’ll be learning about feelings and relationships by observing a baby’s growth and development. Our baby, Enzo, will visit us regularly with his mum, our very own Miss Bintley, so we can see his milestones and learn how empathy shapes the way we care for others. We’re so excited for this meaningful journey!
Thank you to our Roots of Empathy Coordinator, Mrs Ewing for delivering this amazing programme!!
