What is The Teachers' Collection?
We suggest texts to underpin teaching in every subject. We’ve found some great texts, shown how they link to the NC programmes of study, drafted some downloadable outline plans, and pulled together important vocabulary for each unit.
Using a picture book for storytime, reading or English lessons?
Why not check whether it's in our PSHE collection?
Our unit plans can be used to teach a whole unit, or you could choose a couple of the activities to help your class respond to the book. https://buff.ly/492sLnI

Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I love these books! I think they should be in every school and library - the Catchpoles are so brilliant!
Our planning for these award-winning books by James & Lucy Catchpole supports teachers with discussing with children the issues they raise, helping them understand the authors' important messages.
KS1 - What happened to you?
KS2 - You're SO amazing!
