We have had a lovely time this week welcoming Peter in to school. Peter just loves books so much and he showed us some that are special to him and he read some of his favourite stories. Then we all closed our eyes and we got to imagine our dream libraries…….

See some pics and a video of a debate we did last week on Hilda and The Bird Parade. We were explosive in this great debate also supported by our friends. We debated whether the girl who moved from the countryside to a large city should or shouldn’t go out and explore her new environment. At the beginning of the lesson – 14 of us voted FOR and 12 voted AGAINST. By the end of the debate… Paddington voted 19 FOR and 7 voted AGAINST. We were animated and very persuasive!

BOOK RECOMMENDATION this week from Mr Lawrence is ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio. “This book is a wonderful novel of how kindness is the most important thing. I love how it is told from different people in Auggie’s (the main character) class. We hear about the story of friendship, acceptance and belonging.” It really is a special book – let’s get reading in 2019!

Thank you and well done to Mrs Wells in the school office who successfully made a bid from the One Stop shop ‘carriers for causes’ grant which has meant we can have our stage replaced and our new climbing equipment fenced off. We’re going to look smart and fresh for 2019!
