  • Phoenix is the IVJS Favourite

    Wow! We are totally hooked by Phoenix. This novel has everything: twists, turns, fantastic imagery, a roller coaster of emotions and action packed cliff hangers. As you can see we have been using our Reading Journals to write down our thoughts, opinions, questions for group discussion and our illustrations of the events and the amazing characters. Phoenix is now our favourite book out of the Reading Gladiator selection – you definitely saved the best for last!

    It is a stunning book. Very moving, too. I’m not sure how far on you are but I’m sure you will have some interesting points of view to share at the end.

  • Poetry Bombing at IVJS

    Although our official World Book Day celebrations were cancelled due to snow, we managed to reschedule the event this week and our Reading Gladiators Poetry Bombed the whole school!

    I love a good Poetry bomb. Send us a video if you have one and we can add it to the Just Imagine Vimeo channel.

  • A Story Like The Wind

    Iver Village Junior School, Year 6 Reading Gladiators, found this book deeply moving and thought provoking. We all felt that the story touched our hearts and encouraged us think about the plight of others. We hope you enjoy our retelling of the story in the Radio Adaptation Mini Challenge.

    Super artwork, Iver Village Gladiators. You have really captured the style and tone of Barroux' illustration in these pictures.

    Thank you very much. We are really pleased you enjoyed our illustrations. We are now enjoying 'A Story Like the Wind'.

  • Children of the King Mini Challenge

    We are a little behind on our challenges!
    The Reading Gladiators felt that ‘power’ was the underlying theme in the book. Each of the letters show different ways in which power is exerted – powerful words, symbols of power, powerful people, power through war and peace, powerful weather and power through religion.
