Meet Lu

Lu is a 3 ½ year old ladybird. Playful and creative, Lu loves playing with her dinosaur toys, especially Tara the Tyrannosaur and doing silly voices for them. And she loves polka dots; she has them on her wings, her dress, her bed sheets; even her toothbrush has polka dots. Lu lives with her Mam and Dad in a strawberry house.

Lu and all her friends from Shell School!

Lu goes to Shell School, so let's meet some of her friends from there...
