Bishopsgate School Library

We're getting into the festive spirit @Library_BGS, EYFS have been following the robin and meeting Rudi in 'Merry Christmas Hugless Douglas' by @DavidMelling1, while Yr 1 & 2 can't wait to find out how the presents will be delivered in 'Santa Claude' by @Alex_T_Smith.

#BGSLibraryBookoftheWeek is Billy and the Dragon by @NadiaShireen. We've loved joining Billy and Fatcat on another adventure and finding out what else Billy keeps in her hair!

We've been enjoying the magic of stories and finding out that everyone can be a hero in our #BookoftheWeek 'A Hero Called Wolf' by @lucymayrowland & @BenMMantle & confirming our suspicions with 'My Mum is a Superhero' by Angela McAllister & @Alex_T_Smith

This week in the Library with @BGS_LowerSch, we are dreaming up our own wishes, inspired by our #BookoftheWeek 'Once Upon a Wish' by @AmySparkes & Sara Ogilvie

Our @BGS_LowerSch Book of the Week is Billy and the Beast by @NadiaShireen. Lots of great story predictions and gasps at the extra ingredient!

@BGS_LowerSch are loving @Alex_T_Smith's Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion, our #BGSBookoftheWeek.
