Morpurgo Class had their assembly this week and spoke about the IVJS Reading Revolution and their class author, Michael Morpurgo. They reviewed four of his books: Warhorse, Butterfly Lion, Kensuke’s Kingdom and I Believe in Unicorns. They also created a lovely reading song to get everyone motivated and inspired by books. Well done everyone for a fantastic performance!
