Class books we are reading
Autumn term 1
We have three class books this half term.
They are:
Elmer by David Mackee

Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman
Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper
Spring term
We are looking at the book 'The Journey' by Francesca Sanna.
From reading this book we will be thinking about how the people felt in the story having to leave their home and what their safe place would be. We have focused on the safe place being at the beach as this is where the family was altogether at the beginning of the story. We immersed the children using all their senses of what it would be like at the beach and why it is a happy place.
Vocabulary we are learning: journey, border, boarded, darker, chaos, capsize, sigh, avoid, cross, shore, migrating
