Yesterday we finished our class novel we have been reading called ‘Wonder’. Instead of having a Christmas movie treat for our last day of school in 2020 we decided to watch Wonder in class! We have thoroughly enjoyed studying Wonder and a lot of learning has stemmed from the novel.
We have looked at bullying and analysed the morals of the characters in Wonder. We learned about genetics and inheritance because it was mentioned in the novel and we were interested in learning more about it. We have also learned about ‘precepts’ and discussed the importance of the precept mentioned in the novel, which is:
“when given the choice between being right and being kind, choose kind”.
We made an effort to make small acts of kindness more visible and celebrated in 6.24. We have a compliments box in our classroom and every week children can write a post it note to someone to recognise something kind they have done. It is a simple and lovely way to show appreciation and it puts a smile on everyone’s when we read them out at the end of each week.
