Monthly Themes
December – Write the future
English Children
Granny Sarah and the Last Red Kite
A delicately illustrated picture book which addresses the past, and the near extinction of red kites in Wales, but looks forward confidently to the future, where conservation has played its part in re-establishing this most majestic of our native birds. Beautifully written. KS1/2.
A Nod from Nelson
A highly amusing take on pollution at a local level, and the efforts necessary to avert potential disasters – in this case in the milkman’s yard, where Ned the redundant milk-cart steed has time for crosswords – and keeping an eye on what happens when you back a milk-float into a large can of oil!
Open Secret
A thought-provoking novel for teenage readers. Besides family issues there are also green issues to consider in this story set in an idyllic rural Wales, where the media can inflame passions with a single headline. LPG pipe squatters and tree huggers watch out!
