Book Club for years 5 and 6 meets every week to discuss a book we are all reading.  

Any child can sign up and school will buy the book for them.  We love reading, so owning a new book to discuss should not get in the way of the amazing discussions we have. 

It is sometimes really hard to stop reading at the agreed page and have to wait for Book Club before we can move on.   "Oh....I wonder what will happen next....." we hear discussed around school "I can't wait for Book Club! I want to read on!!!"

We are currently reading........

"I thought the book was the best book I've read yet. I liked the intriguing blurb and how JJ and Penny find some sell shocking surprises.  I would recommend this book to anyone, especially murder mystery lovers.  I like all of the book.  There was nothing I do not like because of all the cliff-hangers and surprises!"  Mollie, yr 5.

Running on the Roof of the World

by Jess Butterworth

I like this book because it is very touching and really teaches you about what life is really about.  It shows you that it's not all bout fun and games because within that joy is sadness, sacrifice, love and friendship.  It's all about how to care for others and not put yourself first." - Year 6
