Hello,
We go to a brand new primary school in New Zealand. We would like to follow your blog. It has great articles about books and marvellous videos to match. We have a library blog that students and the teacher librarian contribute to. Maybe you would like to follow us. We would also like to exchange comments with you and maybe do some activities via the internet with you. Do get in touch with us.
Regards,
Carolyn (teacher) and students of Amesbury School
