Our online children’s book club is a wonderful opportunity for children to read and analyse different novels. While ideally suited for Years 3 and 4, we welcome advanced younger readers ready for a challenge and older children who may benefit from additional reading support.
In this club, we read The Wild Robot by Peter Brown.

Book Club Course Details:
Let’s buzz with the joy of reading with our fabulous book club! We offer a carefully selected range of books to excite all young readers.
Our Book Clubs are fully interactive and consist of the following:
Independent Reading: Every week, the children have a set number of pages to read before the next lesson. This reading is to be done in their own time, in preparation for the lesson.
Discuss and Debate: To develop speaking and listening skills, we will start each lesson with a discussion of what the children read. We will encourage children to express themselves clearly, sharing different interpretations and beliefs.
Quiz Whizz: Next, the children take part in a Kahoot quiz which focuses on different types of comprehension question.
Word Warriors: To develop children’s vocabulary, we pick out ambitious words used in the chapters and the children complete an activity based on these words.
The Deep Dive: Here, we explore one aspect of the story more closely. This includes story analysis, writing skills, character study, critical and lateral thinking, exploration of feelings, debating dilemmas and exploring themes.
Scribble and Sketch: The final challenge each week is something creative. Children will be encouraged to upload their Scribble and Sketch work to Google Classroom so that it can be commented on and shared in the following lesson.
