Itâs lunchtime, but the smell of fresh paint â not food â wafts out of the empty kitchen. The children are eating in their classrooms due to COVID-19 precautions.
Director Fiona Wilson visits a classroom where the children show off the various meals their parents packed and sing her a new song to the tune of âIf Youâre Happy and You Know It.â
âWhen Iâm eating at the table, Iâm polite,â they sing in unison, followed by two claps.
