The Spark! reviews are coming in, in preparation for voting. Here's what our Year 2's had to say about 'Farah Loves Mangoes' by Sarthak Sinha - 'Fruit is not the only thing'. (Although there are plenty of mango fans in Year 2!) @sparkbookaward

Book of the Week: 'Why Did My Brain Make Me Say It?' by @BardyMum. Brains are weird! But this poetry collection also demonstrates that brains are amazing in the way they can experiment with language. A playful, profound and authentic collection of poems - perfect for primary.
