ENGLISH
In English we will be reading the book, 'Shackleton's Journey' by William Grill.
Shackleton's Journey is a unique visual re-telling Ernest Shackleton's landmark expedition crossing the Antarctic from one pole to the other. William Grill's impeccably researched and informative illustrations celebrate the 100th anniversary since the historic exploration by Shackleton and his crew on Endurance. Children will love exploring Grill's exploded diagrams and the fascinating details of this landmark voyage.
From this book, the children will complete a range of writing outcomes including a diary, an argument and a non-chronological report in order to build up a portfolio.
SHARED READING
In Shared Reading, we are continuing our reading of the book, 'The London Eye Mystery' by Siobhan Dowd.
