One of my favourite books in recent years is William Grill's retelling of the story of Shackleton's Endurance expedition, and the journey of the James Caird. As we move towards the centenary of the sinking of the Endurance and the events that followed, William has now launched a companion piece, in the form of an Activity Book which, by the look of the publisher's website here is going to be perfect for our Year 8s.Many thanks to Claire for the tipoff.
Also be sure to follow Ernest Shackleton on Twitter for the full story as it unfolds, tweet by tweet....
Will share of the student responses to the book later this term...
