I Did See A Mammoth is such a fun book! I love keeping on top of books (and spying some to add to my wish list) through the reviews. Thank you!

From Kenneth Oppel, Best of All Worlds is a story of survival, teenage passions and an invisible enemy. What should be a relaxing weekend away from the city turns nightmarish when Xavier and his family wake up to find themselves trapped inside a dome. UKLA members RP for a chance to win #lucky13th

@mattobin.bsky.social Hi Mat, We have loved shadowing the Klaus Flugge prize this year! I have emailed you our photos from across the six classes but our winners were: Slug Life (2 classes), The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods (2 classes), The Cat Who Couldn't Be Bothered and The Christmas Mouse.

Same child, different comments.

Imogen @imogenm16.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Yes of course. The children have enjoyed learning new words such as the gutter, vignettes, endpapers etc - right from Year 4 upwards - and it has helped their analytical skills. This example doesn't particularly show that but it's been lovely to witness.

Imogen @imogenm16.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

The children are getting more confident with forming their own opinions of, and commenting on, the illustrations too. 🎨

I read it to my Year 6 class in May (as I always do) and they fell in love it with it and Edward (as they always do)! It's a magical read.

Finished The Wrong Shoes ahead of our Staff Book Club next week. Gritty, emotive and relatable for young people today, I can understand why it has been nominated for so many awards. I will read it to my Year 6 class next term. Thank you to Tom Percival for this important read!
