By Sean CoughlanEducation correspondent The list of must-read novels has been selected by 500 teachers for the National Association for the Teaching of English and the TES magazine. Roald Dahl's cautionary tale comes ahead of Goodnight Mister Tom. "Fiction teaches children how to navigate the journey of life," says TES editor Ann Mroz. As the summer holidays get under way, the list sets out the stories for pupils to read before they move on from primary school. Classic stories In the top 10, teachers have selected two Roald Dahl stories - Matilda as well as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. There are also a couple of traditional classics, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. Top 10 children's books to read before leaving primary school: Jonathan Brunskill, a teacher at Keys Meadow Primary School in Enfield, London, told the TES that the selection reflected how favourite children's books often had dark and unsettling themes. "I've always found that children are attracted to dark stories, Roald Dahl being the obvious example," he said. 'Mediating emotions' Psychologist and former teacher Tim O'Brien told the magazine: "Rather than talking to a child about how they feel about the death of their favourite pet, a parent could make a conscious choice to read a book with a relevant plot instead. "In this way, stories with dark themes and contexts can be a tool for mediating thoughts and emotions." TES editor Ann Mroz said many of the books chosen by teachers, in this top 10 and a further top 100 list, are "not full of joy and mirth but are instead dark and full of horror - tales of ferocious monsters, abuse, abandonment and even death". "Not what you'd think the average primary child would want to read. But these books serve an important purpose, giving children a safe place where they can take control of troubling subjects, where evil can be glimpsed and then shut within their pages."
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is at the top of a teachers' list of books "all children should read before leaving primary school".

Staff at the attraction, which is closed for refurbishment, discovered the yellow-bellied terrapins in an empty chocolate box. They named the pair Jingle and Belle and put them in a tank at the centre. Curator Carey Duckhouse said the terrapins were lucky that staff members had discovered them. She added: "They're both really cute and happily their ordeal doesn't seem to have caused them any harm. "Leaving two turtles outside in the middle of winter is never a good idea though, if no one had found the container, they would probably have died. "It seems that all too often people buy terrapins and other species from pet shops without realising how much care they need or how big they can grow."
People are being warned of the dangers of abandoning unwanted pets after two terrapins were dumped outside the Brighton Sea Life Centre.

The figure is carried in Highlands and Islands Airports Limited's (HIAL) report and accounts for 2009/10. Chairman Grenville Johnston said the loss of revenue would affect the current financial year's figures. The accounts also show it cost HIAL more than £1m to provide de-icing fluid to its 11 airports during the winter. The company said it had budgeted for half of that sum and the additional costs had been "unexpected". HIAL runs airports in the Highlands, Argyll, Northern Isles and Dundee. Earlier this year, clouds of ash drifted from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano. Flights to and from the UK and parts of continental Europe were grounded as a precaution amid concerns aircraft engines could be damaged by the dust. In May, HIAL's managing director Inglis Lyon said official advice on disruption to flights was "confused". He said passengers and airlines had cancelled flights on the back of a press release before detailed information was issued by the regulator in the early hours of the morning. The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said the situation was "regrettable" but weather patterns were changeable.

The grounding of flights as a precaution because of volcanic ash cost an airports operator £45,000 every day services were disrupted.
