You look engrossed and what a lovely space to be reading in. I notice there's a spare chair - anyone mind if I curl up with my copy there? -
Conscience Alley
The children enjoyed exploring the two points of view: Why Mila should have taken Pipa and Why Mila should have left Pipa at home. This caused much debate and children could not unanimously agree on the best outcome

11th Nov 2019, 10:46am Great to see you so engaged in this Snodland! The discussion is key here and it's not unusual to find that the group doesn't agree - it shows you've taken part in high quality talk. Well done. -

Brainstorming A Wrinkle in Time
IVJS Reading Gladiators were amazed to discover that A Wrinkle in Time was written over 50 years ago – what a wonderful imagination Madeliene L’Engle had!
Comments
12th Oct 2019, 6:46am I agree. It feels like it could have been written yesterday - a timeless classic! This is a wonderful photograph - you all look so deep in thought. -
Debate
The team looked at the statement cards which identify some of the issues regarding what it means to be human. This caused huge debate amongst the group deciding which they agree with and which they don’t.
Comments
3rd Oct 2019, 9:53am It's great to hear that the statements provoked such debate among your gladiators! We love a good discussion. I wonder if you might revisit this in the coming weeks. -
The Tesseract
The team had their second session today and it allowed them to draw their own interpretation of ‘The Tesseract’. The one above is represented by layers of colour as you travel through time.
