As part of our Friday assembly, a number of children are picked from the 100% board and awarded a golden token to use in our vending machine. It is the highlight of the children's week and brings lovely smiles to the winners!

The children enjoyed the book, their favourite character was the Teddy bear - because he was cute, He gave them cake, he is like my little baby, he was taking the tea.
The children could tell me that they didn't find out the answer to the question, but found a new question - why are there so many books about dinosaurs.
They are looking forward to the next club as we are going to have a book linked to Christmas.
We used talking chips to take it in turns to answer questions.
We have a dice with different questions as well.

Chloe L - Rating: 9/10
I really liked the book because it had an unusual storyline but it was very good. My favourite character was Ade because he played a big part in the story and went through a lot with his mum.
Isabelle P - Rating: 9/10
I liked the book because it was unlike any book I have read before and I wanted to keep reading it to find out what would happen next. It was quite sad as the mum was ill; there were lots of ups and downs. I liked the happy ending though. My favourite character was Gaia becuase she was always really helpful and a good friend.
