Books for Topics

Just a reminder that ‘Books for Topics’ is a fantastic resource for children from EYFS up to year 6 to help to find and choose books to read which are linked to the children’s science, history and geography topics. They suggest a great range of fiction and non-fiction books pitched at different ages.
