  Term 4, Week 4 What an incredible term of learning we are having! The class are busy learning about fractions, researching and writing an information report about their chosen illness, creating their presentations delving deeply into the characters of our class novel, Wonder, revising our Friendology skills and diving into their future dreams, who they want to be when they grow up and how they are going to get there. WOW (insert mind blowing emoji)!   Honestly, it is such a blessing to be working with such motivated and beautiful souls. You should all be extremely proud of these little legends you have created.   HOMEWORK Thank you to those of you who are signing our Home Learning Grids and ensuring your child is completing their set homework.  Reading Wonder: The children are doing an incredible job of reading Wonder during their class sessions.

We have enjoyed the reading the first few chapters of Wonder. Every week, we will be reading sections of it in groups or as a class. The children can choose whether they re-read it at home for the homework or choose their own book.   In Maths we have begun our fraction and decimals un
