A Make Our Book publication can be a whole school project, a year group, class, group or even a solo project.
Whole school books
Many schools are looking for projects that support their work to build, strengthen and articulate their culture. A book is a tangible, inclusive project that has been used from KS1 to KS5.
- St Christopher's published a huge poetry anthology
- Bishop's High School published Lockdown Literature
Year group and class books
A year group book is a good way to provide cohesion and a sense of shared ambition, particularly across large year groups.
- Various schools published books as a way to bind school together when everyone was isolated
- Older children at Manor Leas did a non-fiction History book
- Year 4 at Cranford House investigated dragons
- Here are some more ideas
Annual projects
Some schools return to Make Our Book annually, and seeing a child's progression from Reception to Year 6 in a series of books is a remarkable and effective way to show and celebrate their creative and skills growth.
Home educators
A book is good project work and can be as much or as little work as you like. On a personal note, my son and I did this year's Christmas present as a solo Make Our Book, and it has also provided the focus as a home education group project.
Literacy projects
The Literacy Hubs help communities across Portsmouth gain the literacy skills they need to thrive. They did a lovely pirate-themed book of short stories. And Leicester Council's looked after children published an anthology that made the ITV news!
