The National Simultaneous Story-time reading of Rod Clement's Feathers for Phoebe was enjoyed by all who took part! I enjoyed "playing the part" of Zelda and Phoebe, wearing my feather boa and using an eccentric voice for Zelda :-) If you drop into the library you will see some lovely pictures drawn by year one of Phoebe in her "finery"!
Check out these links for Feathers for Phoebe:
- the actual story and
- Mt Gambier Library's great adaption!
Talking and Writing about books:
The library has begun a book review blog called "Great Reads". This is a closed blog, which means it can only be accessed by the students through the department's intranet. The children can go on to the blog from home via Kidspace with their username and password.
At the moment year 2 are learning to make good comments and years 3 and 4 are learning to write good reviews. In the next few weeks we hope to have the students publishing their reviews. All students are welcome to add comments any time!
Covering books:
We have been madly processing and covering our books from the last book club, and we still have more to go!
