Planning some writing today, using the 3 Act Method. I always liken it to a rollercoaster (hence the line on the page) as it helps me build the tension in the right places 📚

Educating our children today on the decisions and consequences of the past is the best way ensure all those who suffered are not forgotten. We can then hope this leads to a better tomorrow.
Here are some favourite books which I feel give a rounded view on WW2.

Looking for a new half term read??? The Disappearing Diamond is a classic Victorian adventure but with a twist - Jack and Emmie are from the present day! How will they navigate 1850's London to find the stolen diamond and get home again???

📚Teachers - fancy a free virtual author visit to support your WW2 topic?
I'm taking bookings for this term and the visit is totally free when you buy 4 books from me (£7.99 each plus P&P).
Please DM me for further details/to book, or have a look at www.glenblackwell.com/schoolvisits/

If you are teaching WW2 this coming term, these are some of my favourite books arranged by theme. Some will be on every class bookshelf and others are a bit less well-known. I've enjoyed them all 📚

If you're looking for a new summer read for the 8-12 year old in your life, look no further 😊

Ever heard of a Stanton shelter? Thought not...

I found these WW2 relics on a local walk recently - they lie on land which was once a US bomber base. The Stanton shelter was an air-raid shelter typically made of 18 pre-cast concrete arches, bolted together at the top. 🧵1/2

As we approach the summer holidays, here's a reminder of some excellent WW2 books for 9-12 year olds 📚
