In Reading this week, we have loved to explore Shackleton's Journey by @williamgrill. The children have loved looking at explorers and using this to find impressions and evidence from the text. @stsilasschool #reading

The huge, stark, carefully illustrated pages cleverly take the reader to the vast floes of the Antarctic. The story follows Shackleton and his crew across the Antarctic, offering an awe-inspiring story of bravery, resilience and determination @_reading_rocks_ @williamgrill #KS2
