Just a quick note to congratulate you on your fantastic magazine. My year 6 class love reading it and get excited every time our bursar brings in the pack containing the latest edition! Some of my boys really dislike reading, yet they enjoy working their way through the articles in The Week Junior. Anything that promotes children's love of reading and is highly educational at the same time is a sure winner. Keep up the great work!
