Checking in on our homepage makes me happy. It reminds me how we’re reading, reviewing, talking with and walking into schools and families ever day. Children’s books matter.

Having already finished Holes with Y6, we are now reading Front Desk by Kelly Yang. My first time reading it with a class, so planning WCR as I go, but my reading lessons for this, plus loads of lessons over last 3 years are in here, for free of course.
