I love picture books and think that they should be shared at all ages. Shh I Have a Plan: (Age 3+) This is a hilarious picture book, wher

Rain didn’t stop play for Year 6. The flash challenge to flip a tarp without stepping off. Very funny, very soggy, sometimes frustrating but ultimately very rewarding. The children put themselves into teams, the girls team romped to victory in minutes, clear leadership and a collaborative team made
