Below are some of our additional texts that will be explored during Summer Term within our English curriculum.
We highly recommend that children read these texts to support their learning in school and encourage reading for pleasure.
Linked to our upcoming, 'Lets get packing,' this lovely story tells a simple story about a young boy and a penguin. They build such a lovely friendship but I am not going to tell you how. You will have to read it to find out!
This classic story from 1958 links to our overarching theme of, 'Lets get packing,' this term.
Paddington set of from his home in darkest Peru, on an adventure of a lifetime with nothing but a suitcase.
A book that will certainly make any child (and adult) smile as they read and navigate Paddington's journey and the people he meets on the way. Thoroughly recommended.
This gentle rhyming book explores the growth of a tiny Sycamore seed and its journey through the seasons and years. This beautifully illustrated text is such a lovely read to support your children's learning this term.
Everyone enjoys a book by Michael Rosen! This engaging, easy to use and informative biography of Shakespeare is ideal to cement children's understanding of his life. There are some humourous illustrations in here too!
This wonderful book by Marcia Williams tells the story of a young girl called Flossie (aged nine) and her experiences during World War 2. This is written in diary form and is amusing, heart-warmimg, informative and sometimes sad. A lovely text to share with your child.
Our reading ambassadors have been the first to read some new books in school written by Aleesha Dixon from Britain's Got Talent.
They were so impressed with them that Amber (Year 6) wrote a lovely book review to share with you all.
If you like magic and mystery then this is the book for you. Based on a girl called Aurora Beam, this book is another instalment to the Lightening Girl series.
This book follows the life of Aurora who is trying to figure out who has stolen the sacred stone: the light of the world. When her brother starts acting strangely and her mum won't tell her anything, Aurora begins to try and figure out who her enemy is but villains maybe closer than she and her friends think...
I really liked reading this book and would rate it a 4/5 because it is so hard to put down. It transports you tp Aurora's world and makes you want to findd out what will happen next, you are constantly left wanting more! I also like it because it is about friendship and that anything is possible when you have friends by your side!
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure and a bit of MAGIC!
Amber, Year 6.
