Year 5 are taking part in the Hampshire Illustrated Book Awards. They will look at six different picture books, aimed at older readers, and judge them under the criteria of: picture power, picture position and picture pleasure. All six books are fantastic, so it’ll be a difficult choice for them!

 “I like the way today’s book included some of our school values and important messages. I loved the pictures too. I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories.” Ivy.

“It was great being able to read books I haven’t read before.” Francesca.

“I liked listening to the story today and loved the pictures because they were colourful and bright.” Harley.

“I loved how bright and bold the pictures were in today’s book. I wonder if the rest will be like that?” Amelia.
