Ms Tarantini-Amor: Behaviour for Learning
Mrs Zhu: My Millenium by Shuo Wang
‘Behaviour for Learning’ seems to be interesting Mrs Tarantini-Amor, as she takes some time to sit down and study some theory on teaching! Always hard at work!
Mrs Zhu loves her philosophy, and is probably thinking of the meaning of life whilst reading! Interested? Why not check out our book of the week?
Book of the Week: The Complete Philosophy Files Is there a God, should I eat meat, where does the universe come from, could I live for ever as a robot? These are the big questions within this thoroughly enjoyable book. Dip into any chapter and you will find lively scenarios and dialogues to take you through philosophical puzzles ancient and modern, involving virtual reality, science fiction and a host of characters from this and other planets.
Games Corner How many words you can find? All words MUST contain the middle letter and you cannot use any letter more than once. Challenge: Can you find the 9-letter word?

Check out Audible Stories It is also worth nothing that, for as long as schools are closed, Audible is making its extensive collection of children's audio books available to stream free of charge: https://stories.audible.com/start-listen. It is definitely worth a visit!
