Have you read this?

by Kristy Murray and Peter Bray

George is sentenced to seven years' hard labour in Van Diemens Land. What can he give his sister Hannah to remember him when he is so far away?

I love reading because it helps me with my academic skills,

I enjoy it because it's time to myself, it develops a sense of imagination and it gets my mind running.

Jimmy (Year 5)
