This has been our class reader in Y4. We finished it today.
The last chapters were amazing to read & see the class' reactions.
You could hear a pin drop. They cheered and clapped at the end, there were a few tears and cries of "that was amazing", "emotional" and "I cried!" 10/10

Something in between would be great. It's such a fantastic story and I'd like to do it justice.

Happy new year!
I'm wondering if anyone has come across an adapted/abridged version of Oliver Twist, suitable for Year 4.

I would like a version that doesn't completely change the language of the time (a lot of versions are a little babied) .

[Liz Southern @MrsSouthernSPS]

It would be great to introduce and discuss this element.

Equally, I would like a version that isn't too hard to understand. The complete, adult classic as written would require a huge amount of vocabulary teaching, particularly as I have a lot of EAL children.

[Liz Southern @MrsSouthernSPS]

Every time I think I'm finished, I find a little more to add!
Finally ready for September though!

Well, my classroom is, I'm not fully prepared emotionally but we can't have everything!

@philsharrock I resat my maths and biology GCSEs 2 years ago (in my 40s). Very low confidence in maths thanks to my previous gcse experience... It was bloody hard work and I was delighted to get 5s in both. Whatever the score, its just a number and it only marks the beginning of your ventures!

Read and loved BOOKS in search of a new home!📚

Time to recycle some more of my books. I’d be delighted to donate these to a PRIMARY school. If you’d like to WIN them, please follow & retweet by midnight 17th July ⏰

I’ll pick a 🇬🇧or 🇮🇪winner at random & post to you 📮🚚❤️🤞🤓
