Semester 2 already!
2013 is as busy as I predicted, hence I'm only now getting back to updating news on the blog....
Kindy have settled very well, with many remembering to borrow each week :-) They love to choose their books, both fiction and fact. Snakes Alive is a very popular title as are books on animals (any kind), cars, trains and planes!
Kindy are developing their listening skills and starting to think more deeply about the stories we share in Library time. They love to tell me what they think will happen next!
Year One and Two are becoming quite proficient at giving their opinion with comments on the Stage One Readers and Thinkers Blog. We are looking at the books that have been short listed for this years Children's book of the year. The winners will be announced in Book Week, August 17th - 23rd.
Years Three and Four have already done a variety of things and this semester looks equally varied with author studies, narrative writing and looking at growing and changing!
Years five and six have written book reviews and researched an author. Year six have been busy writing a script for an "interview" with their author and will record the "interviews" on their ipads early this term :-) Year 5 and 4/5M will begin researching rainforests this term and are looking forward to using their ipads for research and presenting their learning!
In all we are expecting a very busy term...

For us, every year is a "Year of Reading", so we will start borrowing Monday of Week Two.
Throughout the year we will look at literature, research skills and using technology to enhance our research and love of reading.
In Term 1, our focus for
- Kindy and Years 3 to 6 will be on great Australian authors. I am hoping students will discover a new author and new favourite books! Year 3 to 6 will have the opportunity to research about an Australian author and share their information with their class- this will require them to use their developing research and technology skills.
- Years 1 & 2 will also be developing research and technology skills to support their learning in Science. In particular they will be looking at finding good information using books and the internet.
- our Term 4 Book Fair was very successful, we were able to spend over $1600 on books for the school - so lots of lovely new books!
- we now have air-conditioning in the library - a welcome relief on hot days - no doubt the library will be even more popular at lunchtime!
- if you have book covering skills, or are happy to learn, you'd be most welcome - we have lots of new books to cover!!
Hope to see you this year.
Keep on reading!
