As part our Reading for Pleasure initiative this year, we have introduced ‘Staff Book of the Week’.

Each week, a member of staff will select a children’s book to share with the school in Collective Worship. This book will be available to borrow and leave a review.

First up is Miss Critchley’s recommendations:

• Ug: Boy Genius of the Stone Age by Raymond Briggs. This book is perfect for KS1 and Lower KS2 children, especially if they enjoy comic books or the Stone Age.
• Resist by Tom Palmer. This book is perfect for upper KS2 readers and is set in the Netherlands during WW2. Jupiter are studying WW2 currently so hopefully this is a good pick for all those enjoying the topic.
