Friday 4 April

Session 7

We only have one more Lit Club session this term so it is really important for those students who are working towards their Bronze badges to get their reviews completed and also their author presentations. As soon as you have these prepared let Mrs earl or Siobhan know and we will find a space for you to present them.

This week we had author presentations from Cian and Cameron.

Cian presented on Michael Morpugo.


Here is the audio for the presentation.




This was an excellent presentation - very well prepared and well presented - Great job!

Cameron presented on Rick Riordan.
Watch this space as we will upload his presentation as soon as possible.

This Week's Book.
A Boy and A Bear in a Boat.
Dave Shelton

The story begins when the boy charters the boat and its captain the bear to take him across tot he other side. As the hours aboard the tiny boat, The Harriet, turn into days and weeks, the monotony is replaced with adventure, with sea monsters, storms and even a ghost ship.

A Boy and A Bear in a Boat, is an uplifting tale that delivers action and adventure in a gentle pace with quirky humour that is enhanced by author/ illustrators Dave Shelton's delightful illustrations. The story is essentially about friendship. The journey that the characters take as their bond is made is touching and every bit as engaging as their undying optimism and rituals of tea drinking and eating eccentric sandwiches is magical, and is juxtaposed beautifully with the boy's scepticism and humour.
