Week 2 almost over...

The term is already going fast!

Book club orders have been placed and we eagerly await the books :-) Thank you again to our wonderful parent helpers and Margaret our library assistant for your help to manage the big task that book club is. The school will receive about $300 worth of books because of the orders we received.

Some of the books and resources we chose include

• Super Diaper Baby 2 - a favourite of the boys
• EJ 12 Pyramid puzzle - a favourite of the girls
• Magic School Bus- in Space DVD - for stage 2 to use this term when they learn about space!

Book Week is in week 6 this term - 22 -26 August and we are celebrating One World, Many Stories.  While looking for resources I found a fun little video to remind us of the importance of stories around the world and another to remind us of the role of libraries in helping to share this- I hope you enjoy!

After the seniors come back from camp I will post details of our competition for book week on the theme of One World Many Stories - stay tune for the details!

Welcome Back

The new term has begun and we are getting straight to work!

Term 3 is beginning with Book Club due in week 2!

Book Club orders will  only be collected Wednesday 27th July between 9 and 9:30am.
There are 3 ways to pay for Book Club

• by phone or online with Scholastic 
• by cheque made out to Scholastic
• by cash - with the correct money in an envelope.

We are also continuing to process more new books for the library, including

This term:

• Stage 2 are continuing their blogging and developing their research skills;
• Stage 1 are appreciating great picture books and learning about how they are made. They will also be working on making their own books; and
• Kindergarten will be enjoying some great books and learning to give their opinions about them!
