In English, our focus will be on the book 'The Arrival'. This fantastic book tells the story of a man who leaves everything behind and journeys alone to a mysterious country, a place without family or friends.  This is a wordless story which allows the children to use thier imagination to think about what life would be like for the main character and the family he left behind.
