The children have really been enjoying reading the story The Boy Who Lost his Belly Button. You can read more about it and buy it here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Boy-Who-Lost-Bellybutton/dp/1842707523

From Monday 5th October

 

We will be reading the book Elmer by David McKee

 

"Elmer the colourful patchwork elephant has been a childhood favourite since this first book was published in 1989. The subtle message is that it is OK to be different. Elmer’s story is full of vibrant colour and cheeky humour, and can be enjoyed by all the family."

 

You can see the signed version of the book at the following link http://www.signedstories.com/story-world/families-friendships/elmer
