A thwarted thespian must use his talents to save his flock from a woolly situation in this hilarious gem from bestselling children’s author Ross Montgomery.
William the lamb just can’t stand still. His feet are always tapping, ready to dance, and he loves nothing more than bursting into song. But his talents aren’t always appreciated at Sheep School. Cast out of the flock, he wanders miserably away only to witness the rest of the sheep being captured by the Big Bad Wolf.

Can William find a way to put his artistic skills to use to save the day?   Please click here.

Earthshattering Events!: The Science Behind Natural Disasters 

Sophie Williams

You Are The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread by Samantha Renke | Waterstones
We often get asked about books to support the ‘Awesome Earth’ or ‘Natural Disasters’ topics for KS2 and we think we may have just found the perfect one.
 (Books for Topics)

Featuring clear information about a comprehensive range of events, this colourful and fascinating guide is a real eye-opener. (Book Trust)

An atlas of the most extreme meteorological and geological disasters that nature has to offer!

We humans take our domination of the planet for granted, but sometimes nature reminds us that this is an illusion. Tectonics rip open the earth, vast waves sweep away coastal towns, magma spews from volcanoes and hurricanes lay waste to entire countries.

This book explores nature at its most destructive. Clear, coherent explanations break down the science behind phenomena including hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, alongside fascinating facts about the biggest and the worst.

Informative, accessible illustrations by Sophie Williams make this so much more than your standard geography book.
