Happy Pub Day Eve! A huge thank you to @candlewickpress for sending me this #gifted copy of The Greatest Project in Space: The Story of the International Space Station by @markus_motum! I’ll admit, I didn’t know much about the ISS before reading this fascinating and informative book! One fact that really stuck with me was that most of the astronauts’ urine and sweat is recycled into drinking water through a filtration system! Space is amazing, but that definitely gives a whole new meaning to drinking recycled water! Would you want to travel to space? And do you think you could live on the ISS for a few months? Synopsis Discover the incredible story of how the world came together to create an orbiting laboratory in space in this absorbing book energized by striking, stylish illustrations. On a clear night, if you’re lucky, you can look up at the sky and spot what looks like a star moving very fast. It is hard to fathom, but this is actually the International Space Station, traveling at twenty times the speed of sound, circling the earth once every ninety minutes. One of humankind’s greatest inventions for exploring and living in space, the ISS is packed with some of the most technologically sophisticated equipment and facilities ever invented. In this follow-up to Curiosity: The Story of a Mars Rover, readers learn how the ISS was launched piece by piece and constructed in orbit; how astronauts live on the station (playing music in zero gravity, running marathons, reading to children on Earth); and how the groundbreaking experiments conducted onboard are changing life on our planet. This compelling picture book celebrates the wonders of space while reminding us that when we work together, there is no limit to how far we can go. #mrschaffinreadit #thegreatestprojectinspace #markusmotom #candlewickpress

So lots of you loved the first of these last week, on persuasive writing, so I’ve made another one, to show you books for news articles. I’ve not called it newspaper articles anymore as that is a bit outdated, and we as a school use podcasts or newsround segments instead, as they’re way more familiar with children. These books all have plots that would lend themselves well to a news report, because it’s either an incident that is serious or one that is humorous. Either way, they’ll get your children onto the key genre features of news articles and you’re guaranteed to get some amazing writing out of it. #news #newsoftheday #writing #lessonplans

EARTH DAY Lately I’ve just been thinking about awareness. And realizing how the best way to care for our planet is to become as aware of it as possible. Awareness about: ~ human impact and footprint ~ food chains and environmental balance ~ “hidden” networks and unseen miracles ~ beginnings and ends ~ sheer intensity of pain and beauty of living on Earth ~ the bigness and smallness of it all ~ and according to my little one, how the world is really just one big mushroom It’s just just about recycling…it’s about everything. Which is a lot. The best we can do is try to become as aware of it all as possible, and reading is the way.

This week’s #8brilliantbooks with @mrsbrownsbookbox contains the most important of all topics: water! It’s such an important aspect of life and something we take for granted, but it’s so important that children learn about the challenges and battles that some have to face. There are a range of water based books here but all of them are effective, informative and brilliant in equal measure. For this year’s water day, celebrate with a story about its importance #water #waterday #celebration #bookstagram #bookstagrammer

🦆 DUCKS OVERBOARD! 🦆 It’s #FactualFictionFriday and this week’s pick is another powerful #backlistbeauty story. This one's about plastic pollution in our oceans. Last week, I shared a book about a jellyfish who mistook a plastic bag for a jelly-boy — but a real-life event inspired this week’s story. In 1992, a shipping container carrying 28,000 plastic ducks spilled into the Pacific Ocean during a storm, and many of those ducks are still at sea and washing up on shores around the world! Told from the point of view of one of these little yellow ducks, the story follows its journey from a factory in China, across the ocean in a shipping container, before disaster strikes and the container falls into the sea. Swept along by ocean currents, the duck drifts past many fish, a whale eating a plastic bag, a sea turtle trapped in a fishing net, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — a floating mass of rubbish twice the size of Texas! After years at sea, the duck finally reaches land — but the beach is littered with rubbish, just like the ocean it left behind. There’s hope, though — the duck spots humans cleaning the beach, and soon finds itself in a warm bubble bath with a beach clean-up volunteer’s child. A fascinating map shows where large numbers of the real ducks ended up, while a final non-fiction spread explains ocean currents, plastic pollution, and how readers can help in the fight against single-use plastic. This book blends fact and fiction beautifully, making a big environmental issue accessible for young readers. It’s ideal for a KS2 classroom or as an educational home read. Don’t forget to tag Jennie @bentleyheathpsbookclub and I in your #factualfiction posts throughout the week — we share them every Friday.
