About the author:
Catherine Bruton studied English at Oxford University and has been juggling life as a teacher, children's author and mum for the past fifteen years. As an English teacher she sees first hand the impact stories can have on young readers - opening their eyes, expanding their horizons, making them ask questions and see the world differently. Her books tackle some of the big issues faced by young people today - terrorism, immigration, the cult of celebrity, the refugee crisis - in ways that are heart-breaking, often hilarious, but invariably hopeful. As her alter-ego Cate Shearwater, she is also the author of the much-loved Somersaults and Dreams series.
Discussion Points:
As you read and enjoy your book, take time to reflect on what your have read and share this with your family. Each week for homework, we will add points and questions to discuss, think about and share together in the Discussion Guide (see files below).
Book Drop Bingo:
To explore the book further, why not take part in 'Book Drop Bingo'? A series of creative tasks that you can complete to enter into our Year 5 Book Drop prize draw. Print off the Bingo card below and tick a task when you have completed it. You can complete a task in your Homework book or use Seesaw to upoad or create it (just remember to save it to your Book Drop folder).
