Welcome the Year Six Bookclub.

The aim of this site is to open up some discussion about some of the books you have read.

Go to the side panel and select one of the books you have read. I have posed some questions or added an activity for you to do. This will be an evolving site. I ask that you look at this every couple of days to see what other people have had to say and add your own comments. You will have the opportunity to suggest some activities for other students to do.

I hope you enjoy this new activity.
