This book can be found on the Year 2 Reading Tracker.
Miss Brimmer read the opening of 'The Phoenix and the Carpet'. This story was first published over a hundred years ago - E. Nesbit wrote this fantasy sequel to 'Five Children and It' back in 1904! This book can be found on the Year 5 Reading Tracker.

As we come to another break in the school year, we have chosen at random four names from our Returning Books Raffle box. The lucky winners are Edie, Araoluwa, Ronnie and Emma. They have each received a new book to keep. The raffle will return after the weeks break.
Please remember to keep your library books in your school bags and bring them to school everyday. Children are brought to the library throughout the week, so it's important that they have their books with them to change during their visits. Don't forget, the more times you return you book, the more chance you will have of winning a book in our raffle!
