Based on our class reading book ‘Wonder’ by R J Palacio, the children have created their own precepts in class. Precepts are motivational quotes or mottos. For homework we would like you to create a precept for our school. You can do more than one if you wish but we would like you to present it in your best handwriting and decorate your page appropriately.
