Life and Learning in the Library

OLD WORLDS, NEW WORLDS, OTHER WORLDS 

 We are exploring these ideas and their connection to stories, genres and information. Parents, please start to discuss dress-up possibilities for our Book Week parade on Wednesday 15th September in Week 10. Students are being asked to think about which world, old, new or other their costume best fits but no book connection is necessary. 

 

Reading Challenge

Well done and thank you to the individual Year 4 students and the Prep T class for their entries to our Notables Reading Challenge. Everyone is encouraged to take part!

Thank you Mrs Powers

Catherine Guy, our Year 6 Library Councillor gifted Mrs Powers with some farewell flowers last Tuesday.  Such a lovely gesture Catherine!

Author Session via ZOOM 

Year 5 and 6 students thoroughly enjoyed their session with author Oliver Phommavanh last Wednesday. Oliver enthusiastically shared parts of his life journey to being a successful writer. Students recalled his top writing tips as;

Write about the things you love or feel strongly about

Gather hundreds of ideas from your everyday life and chew them over until you get a really fabulous idea for a story

Use your favourite things to free up your imagination

Ask "What would happen if...?" and "what couldn't I do if...?"

Volunteer Coverers Needed 

Please come in to chat to a library team member if you are able to take books home to cover. Training is provided and any amount of time given to this task will be appreciated. 

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!
