The library is always a busy place. This term we will be continuing to share books from the Premiers Reading Challenge (PRC). Most students K-2 will complete the challenge in class while students 3-6 are encouraged to ‘take control of their learning’ and complete the challenge during their library lessons and independent reading time. It is wonderful to see so many students already trying new books and logging them into their journals, and we are looking forward to seeing how many of our students make it across the line and read all 20 books by the closing date in August. For more information visit the website at https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html
This term in the library we will also be looking at developing digital literacy skills, i.e. how to be a safe, respectful learner online. We are living in a digital world and students need to know how to navigate it safely and effectively. They need our help, so please get onboard and have these discussions with your children. Ask them what they are learning in the library or go online. Some good websites to start with would be
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR - CATCH THE READING WAVE
It's almost time for our Book Fair!
A Scholastic Book Fair is a fun event at our school that will enable a hands-on experience where children can discover a love of books and ignite a life-long passion for reading. After all, children read more, understand more, and are more likely to continue reading when they have access to many books, and have the opportunity to choose what they read.
The Book Fair commences on Wednesday 12th June 2019 until Tuesday 18th June 2019.
Selling times
Wednesday, Thursday, Monday & Tuesday 8.30am – 9.10am
