When I was a child, my favourite books were the ones that took me seriously as a reader; the ones that were honest, and didn’t try to soften or simplify the truth, even when they dealt with difficult things. That’s the kind of book I want to write myself. dailybulldog.com/arts/an-interv…
A thought for the holidays. If you want your kids to get ahead - let them READ FOR PLEASURE! Let them discover the joy of reading for the sheer fun of it, with no strings attached, choosing for themselves, losing themselves in imagination. Everything else will follow! #literacy
As another school year comes to a close, we bid a fond farewell to our incredible Year 6 pupils: we wish you all the best as you take your next steps into high school! We say a heartfelt goodbye and good luck to the wonderful Mrs Lawrence, Ms Paul and Miss Robertson.
Super Goat Girl by Tracey Baptiste and Dapo Adeola has landed and it is BRILLIANT. This superhero finds her superpower in a heartwarming and funny story, and I am obsessed with the comic panels! What a joy!
