Our Picture News theme this week considers freedom of speech. Words can do a lot of good or a lot of damage, so should our public comments be monitored? Social media gives the opportunity to make our thoughts and ideas as public as we wish, but is it OK to just say what we want to? Should we have the right to say whatever we choose whenever we choose? Please try to find time this week to have a chat with your children about this.

Our Picture News item this week is about a pet healthcare scheme which has been set up in 38 countires across Europe. Ukranian refugees will be offered free access to the scheme as part of the support programme available to them. Our question is - 'Should pets be protected more than other animals?' Please try to have a chat with your children about this.

Machu Picchu in Peru is one of the world's most famous and visited sites. It has recently been suggested that it has been called by the wrong name for over 100 years and should actually be known by its Inca name Huayna Picchu. Does this matter? Should we continue to use the name by which it is widely recognised or should it be changed? What do you think? Please try to have a chat with your children about the implications of incorrectly naming cultural and historical sites. Is it disrespectful?
Many of the children have been fascinated this week by the details of Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic exploration, featured in Picture News. Here are further details of the key events, which you might like to look at together. Most of the children recognised that our greatest learning often comes through failure and our further attempts. They all felt that in this case, the safe return of all 27 people in the expedition was a huge success.
