Life and Learning in the Library
Regional Readers’ Cup Competition
Our team of Year 6 students, Charlotte Franklin, Lily Kucuku, Emily Ray and Willa Schuh took part in this event on Tuesday afternoon 13th June. The team had prepared during Term 2 by reading 5 set novels and they had to answer 10 questions from each book. Thanks for your participation girls, it was a great experience for you all!
Borrowing/Reading for the Holidays
Students were encouraged to borrow extra library items for holiday reading. Please make time over the break for family reading time!
Thank you to our Term 2 Coverers
We are very grateful to Merryl and Andrea Nunn, Donna Enders and Mary Milton for the extraordinary amount of very professional book covering carried out this term, thank you so very much!
Please consider joining this group of volunteers as the need for book covering is constant.
Unclaimed Personal Books
Please claim these books if they belong in your home by the end of term.
Library Lessons in Prep and Year 1
We have been learning to ask questions and locate facts in Non-Fiction texts and the students have enjoyed exploring our fabulous collection of Junior Non-Fiction titles about living things. Please encourage your students to be curious and ask questions about the world and support them to find some facts that answer their questions.
