Junior School Resource Centre
Hello from the Library. As we get closer to the end of another year please ensure your boys are searching out those overdue books. Also, try to ensure you are modelling good habits by finding the time in your hectic lives to sit down with a book, e-reader, newspaper or magazine and let your children see you enjoying the relaxing habit of reading. Sharing a story before bed is the perfect tonic for an overly stressful day (for all concerned) so below I have listed some books I think would be perfect to share with your children:
Years 1 - 3:
Gregor of the Underworld by Eoin Colfer
The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton
BFG by Roald Dahl
Waggit's Tale by Peter Howe
Years 4 - 5
Frindle by Morris Gleitman
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snickett
Hatchet by David Paulsen
Darius Bell and the Glitterpool by Odo Hirsch
Adults
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Magee O'Farrell
Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
Children Aren't Made of China by Wilson McKaskill (non fiction - resilience)
