@teacher_mr_r @one_to_read @jonnybid @KarlDuke8 @smithsmm @sam_creighton @BethRowe1 @KateHeap1 @karen_wallee @smerchant13 @wishesandstars Challenging theme and subject. Means suggestions will undoubtedly be subject to your own school context (class sensitivity, suitability etc. ) and personal opinion. I’ve shared these in the past. Some are situated within the World Wars, others cover the theme of war.

However, these would be examples I have shared with most UKS2 classes the last few years:
‘The Arrival’ by Shaun Tan
‘The Dam’ by David Almond and Levi Pinfold
‘Rhythm and Poetry’ by Karl Nova.
@ClubPicturebook @sam_creighton @Misterbodd @one_to_read @RuddickRichard @PaulWat5 @f33lthesun @LTeacher123 @MrsKirstBarrett @smithsmm @sam_creighton got in early with my favourite of all (Saga). Very much enjoyed these:
Colin Thompson, Scott McCloud and Chris Ware do sweeping, emotion-driven epics incredibly well.
Also, love everything that has come out of the mind of Brian K Vaughan!

Eilean Mor, illustrated by Jeremy Geddes, is a gothic, lighthouse story. Readable to the right Y6 class. 1/5

@one_to_read @DavidJackway @BarringtonStoke @eenalol @MrBoothY6 @MrEPrimary @RuddickRichard It’s definitely one that will prompt book chat about new arrivals. Its illustrations are powerful and infused with empathy. There’s a lovely correlation between the baby swift and the character’s newborn sister. A very moving masterpiece.
@one_to_read @DavidJackway @BarringtonStoke @eenalol @MrBoothY6 @MrEPrimary @RuddickRichard Not sure of a graphic novel with that focus, but know a very good picturebook that I’ve used with Y6, ‘Perfect’ by Nicola Davies, illus. by Cathy Fisher. It focuses on themes of disability & family, ending with a hopeful message.

@RS_Hargreaves @dan_northover Such a lovely text. Finished it this week. Tackles the complex emotions of grief and anger really well.
