  • Bookfest Winners!

    Published 19/05/23

    Year 2 and 3 worked so hard on their books for the 'Bookfest' competition last term. Ally came to visit us for a very special assembly to announce the winners from each class. She was so impressed with everyone's writing, illustrations and all the extra detail we had added to our books, including bookmarks, recommendations, puzzles and fact pages. Huge congratulations to Henry V and the child chosen in Year 3 who won the competition for our school. Ally also couldn't help but give out some extra prizes for 'highly recommended' books. We are very proud of everyone for working so hard to become authors of their very own books.
