Day for Ukraine

Today at William Morris, we had our 'Day for Ukraine' where all the children and staff were invited to wear yellow and blue clothes, in support of the aid relief being sent to the people who live there. Some classes spent part of the day learning about Ukraine and how their country differs from our own. Although the day was fun for the children (being out of uniform) the day also had a more serious undertone that was felt by some of the older children. As such we have added some links below where you can find help on how to raise the topic of war in a child friendly way.
