Hampshire Illustrated Book Award 2024

Over the past 6 weeks, Year 5 pupils in Cassowary and Kookaburra class have been reading, exploring and reviewing six picture books, chosen by the School Library Service.  The children have explored the artistic style of the illustrations in each book and have considered how the pictures enhance their understanding and enjoyment of the story.

Throughout Hampshire, year 5 pupils have been reading these books and have each now voted for their personal favourite. Our year 5’s have voted overwhelmingly for ‘The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish’ by Chloe Savage.
