Our topic this term is all about celebrating the powerful and influential women that have had helped shape the world that we live in. We will look at historical figures and modern day role models, and how they have transformed generations in thier own unique way.

We will be reading from a variety of books throughout the term. As our class novel, we will read WildSpark by Vashti Hardy. It is a great story of a young girl trying her hardest to find a way back to bring her brother back to her. Prue Haywood is a great creator of inventions, and is a fantastic protagonist in this story. We will also use books such as Good Night Stories for Rebel girls, Three Cheers for Women, and Corpse Talk during reading sessions to build on our reading skills and our understanding of strong female role models.
