Word of The Day in The Library! 

By Chelsea D 

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well! Just another fun game to do whilst you are out and about in school! 

 

In the library, there is a fun game to play called the word of the day. Some of you may have seen it at the front of the library on the small stand-up whiteboard when you walk in! 

 

It is always creative and fun and you can test your mind no matter how old you are or how tired you are. I know that this was a short article, but please check it out if you happen to go in the library for a class or just for a book! 

Gaming in your family (Video Games) 

When: Tuesday 28th May 2024, 7pm AEDT 

Timing: 40 minutes + questions 

  

For pre-teen and teenage children, gaming can be a social activity that encourages cooperation, group problem-solving and teamwork. 

 

It can also be a way for children to unwind or explore their creative sides. But you’re not alone if you don’t really understand what’s going on when your child plays video games or whether the games they’re playing are right for them. 

 

This workshop will offer you tangible ideas and approaches to help you turn gaming into a positive, pro social experience for your child. Taking away some of the concern and guilt and giving you a broader perspective of video game culture and young people.
