We have been using a variety of Making Thinking
Visible strategies to explore the characters, main events and key themes within our novel “Wonder”. We especially enjoy debating some of these through a “tug of war”, where listening to the views of our classmates can often influence us to change our minds!

Natural Disasters
We are thoroughly enjoying learning about a variety of Natural Disasters through our Social Studies topic. We have completed a variety of research about the difference between natural and man made disasters and used our facts to write super Explanations.
STEM Challenge
The children were given a challenge to design and make a pencil case that could hold 20 pencils. Their design must have a lid and a handle. Look at their creative work!
Introducing Natural Disasters
We are working together to identify where we think natural disasters happen in the world and what they look like.
Pupil Voice
We have been working together to discuss the question set by the Pupil Council about what improvements can be made at playtime and lunchtime.
Scratch
Priamry 6a and 6b learned how to use the coding programme Scratch. They created simple sequences to make their character move. Thank you to Strathclyde University for coming out to give us this input and to Mrs McAvoy for arranging it.
