Throughout this year children in Year 1 classes in Nechells and Aston schools have received a free book every month (10 books in total). These books were supplied by the Nechells POD CIC through the Bookshare project , funded by the Smurfit Kappa SSK Foundation.

On Thursday Year 1 attended a celebration at Heartlands Academy.

We heard how each school have incorporated the books into the children’s learning.

Mrs Webster told everyone our favourite book was Stickman.

We enjoyed learning all about Stickman and enjoyed the trip to Sutton Park trying to find Stickman.

 

 

We heard stories from the author Steve Smallmann who wrote one of the books we have been given, ‘Batmouse’

 

Steve Smallmann also illustrates books and he drew us a picture using our ideas.
