Reaching high for the best for your child

The children continue to visit and enjoy our new library. Following World Book Day, our visiting author, Alice Hemming, donated some of her books! We now have her complete ‘Dark Unicorn’ series. There are four books in this series, and the first one has already been snapped up by one eager reader in Year 5! Alice also donated her book ‘Rickety Rocket’.  

We hope that everyone enjoyed the virtual sessions that Alice shared with us on World Book Day. Following the KS2 workshop, Alice even left some feedback for some budding authors from year 6. Here is the feedback for one child from Walnut Class.  

“You’ve written a beautifully detailed story plan here. I love your characters and the way the conflict between the siblings helps drive the story forward. It’s very realistic to have a brother and sister who don’t always agree! The MC Hunters work well as villains, keeping the characters on their toes. And what a great twist at the end; I didn’t see that one coming. I hope that one day you have time to write this in full with all the dialogue and description. I can just imagine a striking phoenix on the cover.” 

We have a wide variety of books in our library, from novels to comics, non-fiction and picture books. Ask your child which books they have recently borrowed from our library. 

If you would like to donate a book to our library, here is our wish list: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1VOANTCSTPCJ5?ref_=wl_share
