This is about Humpty Dumpty showing the courage to try again after he fell off the wall. They talked about&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; resilience and how we can come back stronger from adversity. The children did art work around the book and a DT project involving creating a cradle to protect an egg when dropped from a height.&nbsp;</p>
