UKS2 Great Survival Stories Differentiated Reading - Twinkl

Each story is told matter-of-factly, including the occasional grisly detail. The large format of the book itself and the hand-drawn pictures add to the drama. The only problem with this book is that it fails to cite its sources. I have no idea where the author got his facts, and that is really disappointing. I will have to research some of these stories before I feel like I can recommend this book in good conscious. I love this book. The copy I have is large bound, filled with artistic color and imagery that feeds the imagination. The text was obviously thought out and the writing has a smooth, excellent style. A fascinating collection of real life extraordinary survival stories from across the world. Some of the tales are familiar, like the ones about Aron Ralston and Hugh Glass, whose dangerous adventures have been made into movies. Others are less known, but just as riveting. For survival enthusiasts, especially younger audiences, but for anyone who reads inspiration non-fiction. Beautiful artwork too. Each story is just the perfect length to read aloud at bedtime (although may give sensitive children somewhat vivid dreams), or for children to devour alone. Kerry Hyndman's stunning illustrations bring the book alive to a fantastic degree.Like Jet, a dog who searched through ruins during the Blitz bombings to find survivors, or Sergeant Stubby, a dog who caught a spy. Or the pigeons who braved hurricanes, hawks and even snipers to help during WWII … The Woman Who Froze to Death – Yet Lived, a woman who was trapped under freezing water for so long her heart stopped. Four hours later, medics managed to warm her blood enough to revive her. Mulle tundus, et kõige suuremaks vaenlaseks antud jutustuste puhul oli külm. Ekstreemsed temperatuurid ja lood Antarktikast paelusid mind tegelikult ka enim. Kõrb ja džungel seevastu jätsid pigem külmaks. Ma ei oska välja tuua põhjust, miks see nii oli. Võib-olla peitub see asjaolus, et kõrbes ega džunglis ma viibinud pole, kuid natuke lund olen ikka näinud? Lisaks huvitas mind näitus võidujooksust lõunapoolusele, mis kunagi Lennusadamas oli. Antarktikaga seoses tahaksin kunagi lugeda Scotti päevikuid ja ka ekspeditsioonist, mille laev jäässe kinni jäi. I am at the heart of a caring community where I learn to respect and value my environment and the people who share it with me. Some of these stories were familiar to me and some were utterly new and astounding. Some I'd heard the names but never the story. They were all astounding and I've already passed many of them on.
