Royal Mail Book Awards

The Royal Mail Book Awards for 2011 were announced on Tuesday 22nd February.

The winner in the books for 0-7 category is Julia Donaldson What the Ladybird Heard. This is the story of how all the animals work together to prevent two thieves from stealing the farmer's prize cow. Each page has a sparkly ladybird to find too.

The winner in the books for 8-12 category is Barry Hutchison for Invisible Fiends: Mr Mumbles. This is the first in a series of very scary stories, not to be read after dark!

Thank you to all of our pupils in P2, P3 and P5 who took part in voting for this year's winners.
