Hi there readers!

Over the past few months I have been posting links to book trailers created by members of the Y5/6 book club, Black & White Inc. We have been working on this project in stages. The first step was to write a book review... and if you scroll down the page or click on earlier posts you will find some of the engaging reviews that they wrote. These are also displayed in the library if you would like to read them in hard copy.

Stage two was to create storyboards. These did not need to be works of art, but just a rough timeline of the story to be told through images and captions. 

Thereafter we talked about copyrights, creative commons and the importance of referencing any pictures that you use from the internet. 

In a few days time I will announce more information about the Book Trailer Competition that we will be running at the school. So book club members who would like to get their trailer complete in time, please go online at home, with your parent's help and consent of course, and see if you can get those images put into our Dropbox folder. For those of you who don't finish in time for the competition, don't despair... we will be doing many more fun, literary projects this year.

Yours in books,
Kate
