Year 4 pupils throughout Hampshire have now read the five information books included in this year’s award. Congratulations to the overall winner, ‘The Wild Life of Animals’ by Mike Barfield and Paula Bossio.

During the chilly Spring Term, pupils in Puffer Fish and Turtle Class have been enjoying their weekly library times, listening to four new stories and looking at the amazing illustrations in picture books chosen by the Hampshire School Library Service.

Having read each book, the children were asked to vote for their favourite, taking into consideration the style, story and stretch in each picture book.  School children throughout Hampshire took part in the award and every one of our votes counted towards the overall winner, ‘Food Fight’, written and illustrated by Alex Latimer.  Maybe your child will choose one of these lovely, new books to bring home and share with you.
