Class 6 were lucky to have a Zoom meeting with Laura Trott MP this morning. We asked her lots of questions about environmental policy, following up on the letters we wrote to her right at the start of this year.
Our reading walls continue to grow!
We have now filled the wall around our whiteboard will reviews of the books we have read. The number of books featuring characters of colour or with neurodiversity is definitely increasing. We have now had to start on a wall at the back of the room and we already have a whole row of books there - we just can’t stop reading!
We are currently reading Wonder
This week we have been writing our own version of The Rabbits by Shaun Tan and John Marsden, applying all of our learning about the colonisation of Australia and how history can be reported differently depending on who is telling the story of events!

Over the course of the year we are making a note of all of the books we read. These are books we read individually and ones we read as a class. Each time we read a book, we give it a score out of 5 and then Mrs Edwards adds it to the wall. If the book features characters from a range of ethnic backgrounds we give it a glittery border to highlight how many of our books promote diversity.
Already in Term 1 we have filled a wall with the books we have read: 50 books in total!
