Librarians

What a great bunch of school librarians we have this year.  They help at morning tea and lunch breaks and are able to  issue and return your books or help you to find something on the shelve.  They also help with shelving and tidying our library.  

Congratulations to the following children for gaining there Bronze Award for there work in the library : Daniel Anngow, Lucy Martin, Sam Davis, Lisa Kelly, Zoleika Judd, Pari Teli, Leah Johnson, Zoe Walker, Kieran Bumbra, Cameron Allan and Rohan Soper.

Book Illustrators

With ART WEEK just around the corner, it seemed a great time to share a video of author Chris Riddell drawing Ishmael the mouse from the book Goth Girl. Illustrators bring books to life and help us see what our book character looks like or sees.  Look out for more of Chris Ridell's books in our library.

It's Art Week

Looking forward to seeing some of the amazing art projects that you are all working on in class at the moment. If you are in the library you may want to check out some of the books we have available for your own projects.

Game Time

Great to see so many people enjoying the card games available at the library at breaktimes.
