This book provides 30 starter, main and plenary activities for teaching The Explorer by Katherine Rundell in Year 5 / P6. These can be used interchangeably over a half term or over a longer period. Activities use three levels where appropriate, showing how the content can be adapted for children who need more support or challenge. 


The Explorer is a survival story following children in the Amazon after a plane crash. It is an adventure thriller that presents themes of conservation, geography and science and nature.
