"Symbols are all around us! The heart represents feelings, the pen represents writing and creating symbols, the phone and tablet represent places you find symbols and the arrow represents directions. There is a book with maths symbols because you use and see symbols a lot in maths too"
-Marwa, Jose, and Cerenity.
"The purple person is looking up while they are thinking. The question mark represents asking questions. The pink ball is a brain, because that's what we use to think!
