Ironside State School
Book Fair - Count Down Is On
One week to go! This year, we are excited to partner with Where The Wild Things Are, a local independent bookstore. Every purchase helps our school library. The library will receive 20% of all Book Fair sales as credit to purchase new books for students to enjoy.
When: Wednesday 4 November to Wednesday 11 November
Where: Ironside Library, online, or in-store at Where The Wild Things Are
What's Different This Year?
A carefully selected range of books
We have worked with the bookseller at Where The Wild Things Are to offer a range of high-quality Australian children's titles.
Online order delivery
All online orders will be delivered to the school after the fair closes online.
Extended library opening hours
We are trialling additional opening times so parents and caregivers can browse the Book Fair without students present:
- 8:50am-9:00am
- From 2:40pm (Wed-Tue)
We look forward to welcoming families to the library and helping students discover their next great read.
Library Monitors - 2027 Recruitment
Are you our next Library Monitor?
Interested Year 4 students are encouraged to come along to our Information Session Tuesday in Week 3 to find out about our program.
Year 6 Critical Thinkers and Referencing Champions
Year 6 students have been developing their information literacy skills by thinking critically about reliable sources of information. Using library catalogue records and copyright pages, they have explored how details such as authorship and publication dates can help readers evaluate the accuracy and currency of information.
Students have also been learning about the importance of acknowledging the sources they use in their research. As part of this learning, they have practised constructing simple references for books. These lessons support students to use information responsibly in their research and learning.
