Book Review: Shevolution by Lou Treleaven

I am very proud - and very privileged - to be bringing you this blog post today as part of the Shevolution blog tour!

It has been a while (almost eight months, in fact) since I last shared a blog post or book review here. As a Year 6 teacher, I don't have as much free time to read and blog as I would like. I wrote and scheduled a few back in September, when the new school year started, but I have struggled to sit down and write things like this. I am trying to be better but I also need to be kind to myself. 

Anyway, today I am here to talk about this incredible new non-fiction book - Shevolution - and, as part of the blog tour, I am going to focus on one incredible woman from this book who deserves to be part of women's history.

Book Review: The Secret Ocean by Amy Grimes

I love a bright, colourful picture book, so when this landed through my letterbox - courtesy of Scholastic - I was incredibly excited. I knew from the moment that I opened it and saw the cover, this book was going to be a popular one with children of all ages - even my Year 6 class.

Ever since I took this book into my classroom, it has not been back on the shelf. It has just been passed from child to child. Every time someone goes to put it back, another pupil goes "Ooh, can I have that one now?" It's such a joy to see.
