The cover of our book 2nd Class have just finished their latest book. It is called ‘Care of Henry’ and it is written by Anne Fine. We really liked it and managed to read it in just two weeks! We made a podcast to tell you all about it. We had great fun and managed to put some opera singing in again! Well done to Kia for stepping up to be our latest presenter! Remember to keep reading, and have fun with books!
