We have been learning to use a checklist to self assess our writing.

We started reading the book ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio as part of World Book Week. It is about a boy called August who has face deformities and he has been home schooled all his life.  His parents decide that he has to start school and August feels terrified because he has never been to a school before and he thinks he will be bullied and judged because of the way he looks.

So, we are all making astronaut helmets because August wears an astronaut helmet to hide his face because he is ashamed of it and he knows that people will stare at him.

It was a long process.  Firstly, we had to cut cardboard boxes into a helmet shape.  Then, we had to draw then carve out a rectangle shape at the eyes so as we can see when we wear them. 

When we finally all created our helmets, the painting and designing could begin!  This was the fun part. #PAINTGOALS  #GLITTERGOALS  #ARTISTS  #FUN
