Literacy festival

This week is literacy week and all our activities will be based around the book 'The Island'. When the people of the Island discover a man and a tattered raft on their beach, they’re not sure what to do. Who is he? Will he harm them? They don’t want to take him in – but they can’t send him back to the sea, where he’s sure to die. So they lock him up in a goat pen. But even there, is he still a threat to them…? This is a chilling and wonderfully illustrated tale of prejudice and fear, which explores topical themes of racism and refugees.
