Where the Wild Things Are

Team 2A were engrossed by the  book above. We shared a few philosophical discussions on the difference between imagination and dreams. We also focussed on the theme of being the boss and how in his imaginary land, Max was King of the monsters yet in real-life he was banished to the bedroom by his mother. We briefly discussed behaviour and consequences and every parent will be jealous of Sue & Bob because Jake told me very convincingly that he has never been naughty...

Team 2A used these:

We discussed the meaning of strengths including 'sporting', 'energetic', 'creative' and 'friendly'. All the cards were then handed to students after nominations from their classmates. The year 2s were generous and kind with their compliments and each child was given a couple of cards and many compliments which left them smiling. 

The Team then celebrated their strengths by creating a Wordle at www.wordle.net.
