The book that we are reading as a class in guided reading is ‘The Last Bear’
The Last Bear by Hannah Gold is a children’s adventure novel about an 11-year-old girl named April who befriends and rescues a starving, stranded polar bear in the Arctic.
We will also be using ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ as a class novel.
Lots of our literacy will be based around the book this term.
