BookBairn: TES Book Reviews

Showing posts with label TES Book Reviews. Show all posts

So for the first time in our experience of reading books and writing reviews for the TES class review, the children and I got a book that we were not as keen on. Ever the professionals, we read on and wrote a balanced review, which you can read here:

I don't quite know how I missed this at the time (pregnancy brain wrapped up in the chaos to Christmas perhaps?) but the children I wrote our latest TES Class Review deserve an apology! Sorry kids! We reviewed 'Finding Black Beauty', which is an imaginative retelling of the Anna Sewell classic 'Black Beauty' for the TES website.

Also, the kids photo in this one is great! They really got their noses stuck into this book!

Just a quick post to link to a review of the book 'The Racehorse Who Wouldn't Gallop' I wrote with the children from my old school (as in pre-career break school) for the TES website. The children really loved this book and they told me delightful stories of getting in trouble for reading too late at night, or reading the book under the desk in class. They were so captivated. It was also lovely that the author, Clare Balding, shared our review on Twitter - the children will be thrilled.

Also, you'll not that I didn't pose for a photo with these cute kids, after the last TES review photo I thought I should stick to my strength behind the camera!

Just a really quick on to share that I wrote a book review with kids from school for TES (formerly Times Educational Supplement). The kids enjoyed it so much and felt like proper little critics. Can't wait for them to read it! Read it here:

On a side note - I don't know why I have my eyes closed in the photograph - that's why I usually just stick behind the camera and let BookBairn do all the posing!
