Hi everyone,

Today’s story is What a Mess. It is a slightly longer story so it is in two parts. I hope you like it as much as I do. I just love the pictures.

Tomorrow’s choice (the final choice before the Easter holidays) is …

In this story Slinky Malinki (a cat) goes out to meet his friends. Find out what they get up to and where they all settle down at the end of the night.

or …

After the Storm (Percy the Park Keeper) - book, teaching resources ...

A good one for a windy day. Find out what Percy and his animal friends get up to after a storm messes up their park.

Reply to this post to let me know which one you would like to hear.
