Exploring 'The Explorer'

This half term in Year 5, we are diving into an exciting new adventure with Katherine Rundell’s captivating novel, The Explorer. Set in the Amazon rainforest, this thrilling story follows the journey of four children who find themselves stranded after a plane crash. As they navigate the challenges of survival, courage, and teamwork.
At the end of this half term, we’ll reflect on how The Explorer connects to last half term’s novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. Both stories centre around survival in remote environments and highlight the importance of friendship, perseverance, and respect for the natural world.
Year 5 is ready to explore!
