Britannica Magazine
We have been very lucky to receive a free one year subscription to the non-fiction magazine, Britannica.
We have started our subscription with two back issues filled with lots of articles and stories of all kinds.
Non-fiction magazines and books can be very helpful to engage and support children's reading and learning and we are delighted that we will have a new copy in the library every month for the next year.
Britannica magazine is packed with incredible information, facts and stories about the real world which are far more amazing than anything you can make up! Many of our pupils prefer to read non-fiction texts and this is a wonderful resource to keep them completely up to date.
You can support even more resources for our school if you would like to subscribe to Britannica yourselves. Please see the link below if you are interested. Please do remember to select our school at the checkout.

New Books for January

A very interesting idea that caught my imagination. Barnaby Brocket is a very unusual boy because he floats! His family decide enough is enough and he has to go. Barnaby is betrayed, frightened and alone until one day he floats into the path of a hot air balloon where he begins a magical journey around the world. | Mrs Dourley's most recent review
I am not usually a fan of books written around the subject of war, but I was entranced by this one. I should admit that I listened to this as an audiobook as well as reading it which made quite a difference. The audiobook is read by the author, Phil Earle and hearing the words read in the accent they were intended really added to the story.
When the sky falls tells the story of a young boy named Joseph sent to the city to live with a woman he doesn't know as the bombs of WW1 rain down upon them. Mrs F is responsible for the zoo and making sure the remaining animals don't escape and cause harm should the bombs damage their enclosures. What follows is a beautifully written story about love, trust and acceptance.
I enjoyed this story very much and couldn't wait to find out what happened to Joseph and Mrs F each day. I loved the characters and how they learned to understand each other as time went on, and how they fought for each other by the end.
Highly recommended
Five thumbs up out of five for me. |
