Year Six Reading Journey
We begin the Spring Term by reading the powerful novel by Benjamin Zephaniah, Windrush Child. It is an immensely important read and it is also a difficult one as it addresses many injustices and inequalities. We follow Leonard on his journey from his beloved homeland, Jamaica, to Britain where he joins his father who had been helping to rebuild Britain, the 'motherland', after the Second World War. This novel links to our history project - Britain Since 1948.
We follow this novel by reading the wonderful heart-warming story of The Last Bear by Hannah Gold. For this tale we head to the artic regions of Norway, to find the delightful and wilful character of Alice as she explores her new homeland in search of her beloved Polar Bear and to discover why, he is isolated and alone on the island. This novel links to our geography project - Protecting the Environment.
