The Golden Compass
I can't wait to see the movie of the book 'Northern Lights'. There is an excellent website where you can answer some questions and find out what daemon you would have. I ended up with a chimpanzee! Linking with the movie there will be some activities in the library after the exams. There is a 'fortune-teller' to make to find out your daemon and an alethiometer to spin. If you haven't read the book, it is a gripping fantasy story. Why not try and read it before you see the movie. To visit the website, click on the link below:

Julia Golding
Years 5 and 6 had a fantastic morning with the author Julia Golding. With year 5, Julia talked about her fantasy series 'The Companions Quartet' and with year 6, she talked about her series of historical stories about 'Cat Royal.' Both talks were interactive and involved some of the audience dressing up as characters from her books. We had a great time!
