We are collecting the Little Mates books from Scholastic. These cute little books are a lovely way to introduce alliteration or focus on a letter (i.e. A). We are up to the letter C.
Another wonderful thing about these books is they are based around Australian animals and settings. Perfect. Highly recommended for little bodies.

Here is a photovisi of them and the students in action.
Let us know what you enjoyed about their visit.
Write a review for a book you have read and complete the FEATURE BOOK recommendation label.
This label will be added to the cover of the book or will be displayed in the Junior Fiction chapter book section of the JS Library.
The best review each week is rewarded by a Lucky Dip prize.
So get reading and writing.
