The book that we are reading as a class is ‘Shackleton’s Journey’.
Shackleton’s Journey is a children’s book written and illustrated by William Grill. The book tells the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew as they set out on a dangerous expedition to cross Antarctica in 1914. The expedition was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. Shackleton and his crew sailed 800 miles to South Georgia in a whale boat, before landing on the southern side of South Georgia and making the first crossing of the island to seek aid.
Lots of our literacy will be based around the book this term.
