Book Club News

We had our last meeting before we break up for Christmas (boo!) and had lots to talk about as usual. 

First up, I set them a challenge of coming up with a name for our book club. The winner will get a prize. There is lots of time to enter as the competition doesn't close until January, so get your thinking caps on! 

Also, I told the children about this blog. Hopefully now, they will be able to see everything that I put on Twitter through this blog, rather than have to go on social media, which I know some parents understandably don't like. So get following, telling your friends about it and posting comments too!

Also, I gave out a copy of our very first newsletter! 

I'm looking forward to changing the top to our new name!

As there were so many children in the club, I have had to reduce the numbers, so in the new term, Mrs Richardson will be running a writing club for those that would like to write books instead of read them.

Happy reading,

Book club news

This week in book club we looked at the recommended reading books for each year group from the Books for Topics website. You can see the lists here. 

Some children have read a few of the book already. I've now challenged them to get reading the books from their year group. For each book read from the list from now on (accompanied by either a written or video review), there will be a

prize!

We received some post this week:

We had some promotional postcards and a signed postcard with a lovely message from Nizrana Farook for her book which comes out in January 2020.

We also had 2 signed postcards, again one with a lovely message to the children from Emma Read, for her book Milton the Mighty

Thank you so much to you both.

As I started this blog after the Twitter account I will be posting posts already seen on Twitter until I catch up. Sorry for any repeats.

I am also working on a brand new newsletter which I'm hoping will be ready to go home with the children at next week's book club.

Happy reading,
