November is all about celebrating non-fiction and discovering that reading really is an adventure!
To help launch Non-Fiction November, Mr Walker has been sharing his love of non-fiction by reading a range of fascinating information texts to children at lunchtime this week.
He kicked things off with some interesting facts about fish, exploring the amazing underwater world and discovering just how much there is to learn about the creatures that live beneath the waves. For our KS2 children, he then introduced them to the incredible life and discoveries of Galileo Galilei, the famous astronomer who changed the way people understood our universe.
These lunchtime reading sessions are a brilliant opportunity for children to explore subjects they might not usually choose, discover new interests and see that reading isn't just about stories. Non-fiction can take us anywhere, from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space!
Throughout November, we are encouraging everyone to get curious, ask questions, follow their interests and explore the wonderful world of non-fiction. Whether it's animals, people, places, science, nature or fascinating facts, there is something out there for everyone.
After all, every book is an opportunity to discover something new. Where will your reading adventure take you?
