We had a great turn-out today for our #bedtimereading workshop. The children loved changing into their PJs and reading with their parents. We hope you all have a snuggly evening curled up with a good book! Remember, if you #lovereading they will too :)

A fab class innovation of our Journey text today! Now the little girl goes from her garden to Star City, climbs a ladder into space and flies back in a rocket. Lots of great #writing and #creative activities ahead!

Spot the difference! Interpretation of the front cover for immersion in our new @Talk4Writing text 'Journey' by Aaron Becker @storybreathing. This is going to be a good one!
