Herman’s Holiday by Tom Percival

Herman and Henry are having a great time camping in the great outdoors. Well, Herman is. Henry seems a little distracted. He must be having fun though - everyone loves camping, don't they? Join Herman and Henry, best friends forever, on a camping adventure that neither of them will forget - for very different reasons! A fabulously funny story by Tom Percival, a local author, with lift-the-flap postcards inside to explore whilst reading.

The children have been using their mark-making skills to make some very special postcards. We went out on a big walk up to the postbox near Gastrells School and then we found two other postboxes in different places around Tabernacle Walk and the road up to the Common.

The children posted the letters and we talked about where they would go. The children told us about the post people they had seen in the vans or coming to their houses and we talked about bigger parcels and how they are delivered.
