Jacqueline visited Beavers Community Primary School in Hounslow last week.  Her visit was a prize for the school which had won a UK wide competition in which primary schools were asked to outline why they want to set up a Chatterbooks reading club in their school.  Jacqueline met members of the school’s newly-formed Chatterbooks group and talked to all the pupils in Years 3-6 and signed books as prizes for children at the school.   More information about Chatterbooks Reading clubs can be found on the Reading Agency website.
