This year, we have been doing lots of Bookmaking for our literacy learning.

We have been lucky enough to have a expert bookmaker visit us to help with our bookmaking – Lisa Burman. Lisa helps Miss. Andersen and Mrs. Pinneri with teaching bookmaking and the students with how they can make their books even better!

First, we start our lesson with reading a book.

We are doing a Nick Bland Author study, so EVERY book we read in bookmaking at the moment is written by Nick Bland.

Hartley – it’s Big and Bold!
