OUR BOOK WEEK CELEBRATIONS
We celebrate the joy of reading together at home, NO normal homework just reading with our family, so great! Thanks for sharing your photos so we can join in your joy!!
We celebrate creativity and the thoughtful student reflections around reading with the fabulous class pots decorating the entrance and library space.
We celebrate beautiful Australian books with the book Council winners which are on display in the library. We will continue to celebrate these books in the coming weeks.
We continue to celebrate student reading by adding something colourful to our reading vines on the library windows when we observe great reading choices and behaviours.
Our big week of celebrating books will end with the highlight tomorrow morning, our READ, GROW, INSPIRE costume parade! Everyone is welcome at the Mercy Centre, the staff will kick off the parade at 8.50am.
I wish to acknowledge and thank Andrea Nunn and her friends for the 600 beautiful bookmarks they have made and donated so everyone will receive a unique bookmark on Friday after our parade. This is a massive effort and a real gift of time and energy from Andrea and her helpers and we appreciate it very much.
Year 5 and 6 students were encouraged to create a book trailer this term on any book in our collection. A book trailer tells a little about a book and tries to make the viewer excited to read the book. Emily Ray and Willa Schuh were the only students who completed a trailer, so I wish to acknowledge their persistence and effort. They chose the Non-Fiction book, Deep which was announced as the winning book in the information category! They also did a great job promoting the library for Book Week, so well done girls.
Our Displays
WAY TOO COOL!
This performance by Perform Educational on Wednesday 30th August will weave a story from 3 of the short-listed books to share some important messages. We are working with these books in library lessons to understand their themes and we are excited to see how they come together in the performance. Links to the song lyrics, dance tutorial, puzzles and activities from the creators can be found on our AccessIT Homepage.
Procedure for Long Term Overdue Library Loans
Please note that reminder emails are automatically generated when items are 2 and 4 weeks overdue BUT no payment for the replacement of these items is needed until families receive a separate invoice. These invoices are usually sent after the loan has been outstanding for 10 weeks.
Wishing your family a joyful time reading together!
