New class novels!

​Beginning in February, all of the literacy groups have started new class novels.  Our third class group has started The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and are loving it so far, we’ve just finished the part where Lucy makes her first trip to Narnia and all of the students are really excited to see what happens next!  The fourth class group have started Prince Caspian, the next book in the Chronicles of Narnia series (following on from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe).  The fourth class students read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe last year and are delighted to be back in the land of Narnia.  Where we last left off, the Pevensie children has just realised they’ve traveled back to Narnia but hundreds of years have passed and their old castle is in ruins!  In fifth class, we’ve been reading Goodnight Mister Tom, the students are really enjoying it, and have had some very interesting conversations in class about the themes and concepts that the story deals with, for example, war, family, and friendship.
