Year 6 meet Katherine Rundell
Posted 6th December 2023
In Autumn half term, Flamingos, Meerkats and Cheetahs read the exciting adventure novel the Explorer, a novel by Katherine Rundell.
"From his seat in the tiny aeroplane, Fred watches as the mysteries of the Amazon jungle pass by below him. He has always dreamed of becoming an explorer, of making history and of reading his name amongst the lists of great discoveries. If only he could land and look about him.
As the plane crashes into the canopy, Fred is suddenly left without a choice. He and the three other children may be alive, but the jungle is a vast, untamed place. With no hope of rescue, the chance of getting home feels impossibly small.
Except, it seems, someone has been there before them …"
Today the year 6 classes joined Katherine Rundell online, and enjoyed hearing about the inspiration behind the Explorer and how she write her latest novel.
