The Tiger Who Came To Tea

Room 9 loved hearing this classic book this morning.  This book has been voted by kids in New Zealand as one of the top 50 books to read.  I remember this book when I was a girl.

After our story we watched this clip about real tigers.

I also found this clip which teaches you an easy way to draw Tigers, give it a go!

I LOVE LEMONADE

Remember when Mark Sommerset came to our school last year and read this to us?

ROOM ON THE BROOM

I adore this story!  This book has it all-a witch, adorable animals and a dragon. The illustrations are magical and it's such a cute story.  Written by the author who wrote the Gruffalo

WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT

We have this as an audio book to listen to at lunchtimes, but we also have it as a picture book to take out.

Check out the You Tube clip of Michael Rosen performing this classic story.

THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big furry, stripy tiger!

WONDER

My favourite book I have read this year.  Love this story.  August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face.
