Useful Websites
We are currently reading ‘Skellig’. I think this book is really funny and everyone should read it.
In Year 5 we are reading ‘The Girl Who Stole an Elephant’. It is a very interesting book and it’s great to learn about a different culture.
We are reading ‘The Twits’ in Year Four. I love that The Twits play tricks on each other. It is very funny.
We are reading ‘Stone Age Boy’ – I think he is a wonderful character because he is adventurous.
