Reading

This page is for keeping a track of all the reading we do together as a class this year.

Our first 'class novel' is 'Because of Winn Dixie' by Kate DiCamillo.

Post a comment about your thoughts about it so far...

We have begun our next novel! It's THE CAY by Theodore Taylor.

Our THIRD book for the Term is Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Another classic!

The first novel for Term 2 is John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

We've begun the first novel of Term 3 - the FANTASTIC Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt.

This is definitely a charming older children's fantasy book!! Winnie Foster's family owns the Treegap Wood, and is unaware that there-in lies a spring whose water when consumed imparts everlasting life. The Tucks (Angus, Mae, Miles and Jesse) know this secret and would like to keep the knowledge (for good reasons) away from others... except maybe Winnie.  Will Winnie take advantage of this amazing chance? Would you? 

Term 4 Novel - Mahtab's Story by Australian Author Libby Gleeson

The vivid and compelling story of a young girl fleeing Afghanistan with her family and their journey to Australia. Inspired by a true story.
