With more time than ever spent indoors & in front of screens,our lives are becoming disconnected from the natural world.These wonderful books will change that:immersing children in the beauty of the outdoors. They would combine beautifully for a whole-school poetry focus.

thebookseller.com/news/macfarlan… Fantastic news! Although, it’s a while before it’s out. I wonder if Norfolk schools will be lucky enough to receive a free copy again?

With so many fabulous children’s books in the shops & libraries sometimes it’s hard to choose the best one as a class reader or to recommend to a reluctant reader. At lovereading4kids.co.uk you can search by age & genre & try before you buy. Oh and it’s free to sign up too!

Another nature triumph! This is simply breath-taking & tells the stories of the wonderful and & often perilous journeys that species take each year to feed & breed. Pack with facts but told through beautifully crafted narrative. A great hybrid model for KS2 information texts.

Thanks for lovely comment, made by one of the delegates on a recent Early Years Step On refresher session. ‘Steps training is amazing. I consistently use it within the setting as do all the staff. And it works!’
