We have been enjoying reading all about Otto, the first emperor penguin chick in his rookery and all the things he has found out about being a penguin, from keeping warm in a huddle, to being fed by lots of different female penguins to keeping watch for dangerous leopard seals. 

The ice is melting so Polar Bear sets off in search of a new home. We join him on his adventures across the seas and discover the many friends he meets along the way. This beautifully illustrated story has a powerful message of conservation and is a perfect introduction for children to global warming and environmental issues.

This week we finished reading all about Plop! The children have loved listening to this wonderful story and have already requested we start reading another Jill Tomlinson book next week about a gorilla!

Our literacy book is Rosie Revere Engineer, all about an amazing girl who makes inventions out of junnk.

The Story Machine. This book is all about the power of writing and persevering, even when things are hard. 

A new version of the classic Goldilocks story, thinking about why Goldilocks decided to go into the three bears' house in the first place. 

What were those frogs doing?! And what will happen next?

This lovely book links in with our learning on Kenya and tells the story of a little girl who helps her village during a drought.
