Term 3 Highlights
We celebrated amazing Australian books identified by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) all term. We had fun with our dress–up parade, “Read, Grow, Inspire” class pots and our reading vines and reading tree.
The messages of kindness, true friendship, being ourselves and the need to walk in another person’s shoes were shared with our students as they participated in the “WAY TOO COOL” performance from e-Perform.
Term 4 Reading
- Year 5 – 6 will be writing a short review of their chosen book to post in AccessIT for future students to read. Students have the holidays to read their chosen title.
- First few chapter read alouds will continue for Years 4 – 6
- Story-time for our younger students is part of their library session
Browse and Borrowing in Term 4
- Students must have a waterproof bag to transport library loans home. The library is no longer providing plastic bags so loans will remain in classrooms until students bring their bags.
- All loans will be due in Week 7 and continuing students are invited to borrow for the summer holidays in Week 8.
- Stay tuned for updates on library borrowing across the term as we will be relocating for refurbishment work at some stage.
