UKLA BOOK AWARDS 2017

Some photos to share from the UKLA International Conference in Glasgow earlier this month. I was there for the presentation of 'Our Class Loves This Book: The John Downing Award 2017'.

A big thanks again to the UKLA for selecting 'Atlas of Adventures' for the award, and to Neston Primary School for creating such an amazing display of work in response to the book.
