Schools subscribing to Hampshire School Library Service are invited to participate in the Hampshire Information Book Award 2019. 

The Award, now in its seventh year, is for Year 4 pupils. It is designed to allow pupils access to inspirational and imaginative non-fiction books, and to decide the winner themselves.

Teacher feed back from 2017 award

'Children learnt to use suitable language to critique the ( information) books that they were studying while explaining their reasons.'

'The children really enjoyed being judges and this process gave them a real purpose and a different aspect to their reading. Also it gave then the opportunity to read books that they may not normally pick up and take interest in.'

Further details and information about previous years awards can be found here.
