As part of antibullying bullying week classes across KS2 got together to have a cross-phase book club to discuss their empathy class reads.
Year 5 and 6 met to discuss Floella Benjamin’s Coming to England, a story about a young girl who came to London in the Windrush generation and was met with prejudice and discrimination.
Year 3 and 4 met to discuss Mallory Blackman’s Cloud Busting, which explores themes of bullying and neurodiversity. It was wonderful to hear the children’s thoughts on how characters could have acted with more empathy and what advice they would give them.
We were also proud of our children’s developing oracy skills that were showcased during this book club.
