From Rugby on the Field to Reflections on Wonder – A Week of Growth and Sunshine

We’ve had our final “Chance to Shine” assessment week before SATs, and the children have been showing off all their hard work! They’ve really embraced the challenge and we can see how much progress they’ve made.

In our Guided Reading sessions, we’ve been diving into the novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio. The book tells the story of Auggie Pullman, a boy with a facial difference, and his journey to fitting in at a new school. The children have been really engaged with the story and have been reflecting on the important themes of kindness, acceptance, and empathy.

We’ve been lucky with some lovely weather these past few week’s, so our PE sessions have moved outside! The class have been enjoying learning and playing tag rugby on the field. It’s been a great opportunity for everyone to work on teamwork, communication, and physical fitness.



As part of our PSHE unit on ‘worry’, the children painted their own worry stones. The stones will also serve as a reminder that it’s okay to feel worried and that we can always find ways to work through these feelings.
